AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Trevaughan What to do about AdBlue in a diesel tank comes down to one thing more than any other: if the motor has run since it went in. Wherever your car is — Cwmfelin-boeth, Trevaughan — never start an engine that hasn't been started yet. Call 0333 366 0103 with your key and motor both off. In Trevaughan, such a case is typically drained and flushed on the spot. Stop the moment you safely can then switch off, if it has been run. Stage one remains unchanged, even if the work is bigger. Find the scenario below that matches yours, wherever in Carmarthenshire it happened. ## On a Trevaughan forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel The cap you opened was the wrong one — and you just notice it as you are stood at the petrol pump, bottle or the nozzle in your hand. Somewhere around Trevaughan, then — Preseli Filling Station, Texaco, or anywhere else close by. What it means: this is the best place to find out. No pump has pulled it in, so the AdBlue sits only in the tank. Clearing the pump is no reason to run it — and so don't get back in. Phone us from the forecourt after your car sits in a space — the attendants will lend a hand to push it — and save the bottle. If it cannot be shifted, it can be drained at the pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a working forecourt. ## Trevaughan, at home: AdBlue in your diesel tank For days the dash had been nagging you. Bought a container, tipped it in at home, recycled the empty — and at that point checked the cap again, too late. Right off Trevaughan Gardens is not less likely from anywhere. What it means: if you have not driven since, this is almost as good as the forecourt. AdBlue doesn't mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of that tank and waits there. Overnight doesn't change that. Put the keys in the house overnight — or a person might drive it away first thing — and phone us. We drain the car on your drive, whether that is in Trevaughan or out in Whitland. Late-night drains outside a house are fine: the pumps are low-noise. ## Trevaughan: drove off with AdBlue in a diesel? Rough running, smoke, lost power or a glowing dashboard arrived a short way after the top-up. Maybe it was on B4328, possibly on the way out towards St Davids, under 50 miles away. What it means: your fuel system has sucked the AdBlue in. Distance decides how deep it goes: filter and lines first, then the injection pump and each injector. It travels further with every mile driven and each restart. Stop somewhere safe — that is the first step — then turn it off. Leave at the first junction — not the services further along — if you are on the M4, under 25 miles from Trevaughan. Don't restart it to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Call, saying how far your car was driven. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank You have had this vehicle hardly a week. Your own car either does without AdBlue or keeps it elsewhere, and so no one warned you the AdBlue cap was right beside the diesel. Anyone, anywhere around Carmarthenshire, could make the same. What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it's run, with one more step. Any work on your car frequently requires the owner's approval under rental or company terms. Sorting it before we turn up is quicker, so ring the rental company or your fleet manager, and then us. Leave the vehicle off while the answer arrives, even if you are parked at Whitland or near Bethania Chapel. ## Unsure about AdBlue in the diesel tank around Trevaughan? Sometimes the honest answer is "I think so". A slight ammonia whiff lingers near the filler, the bottle feels too light, and which cap came off is a blur. It might have been at a friend's drive in Pont-y-Fenni, or rushing outside the local primary school at the school run. In short: a spill round the filler leaves your motor no harm. Inside your diesel tank, however, AdBlue damages it. You can't tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so would suck in any AdBlue that is in the tank. Do this: behave as though it did, and don't start the motor. Ring us and explain what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out free of AdBlue than drain one that has already been run. ## The common ground in each Trevaughan AdBlue drain Whichever scenario you are in, this job starts the same way. Filling station, driveway, Station House's car park or a street beside St Mary's Church — our van comes to your car, and three answers follow: which liquid, what amount, and if it ran. Over the phone, before dispatch, you hear our quote, and those answers shape the job too. AdBlue forms crystals and is corrosive to some metals in fuel systems, so it does not rinse out on its own; that's why a full flush, after the drain, counts far more here than with petrol. Clean diesel goes in once the filter is flushed or changed, and your car is finally tested. Never started? In that case about half an hour once we are there is most jobs. Starting it comes last. Our engineers make sure it runs correctly on clean diesel before we leave. Our technicians do the entire job where the vehicle is, and permanent damage is very uncommon if it has been spotted early. For your insurer: the engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment that day, no money upfront. Many insurance policies cover misfuelling, so check yours while the van travels. ## About Trevaughan, for a moment Trevaughan is a suburban area situated on the riverside in Carmarthenshire, with an elevation of 21 metres above sea level.
