AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Turners Hill Everything hinges on a single fact: if your engine has started since the AdBlue was added — far more than anything else. Out in Worth Abbey or right around Turners Hill, an unstarted motor should remain that way. Leave the engine and your ignition off and ring 0333 366 0103; it is normally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the vehicle is around Turners Hill. If it has run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. It is a bigger job, yet step one does not change. Match your case to a situation from the list below, anywhere in West Sussex you happen to be. ## Turners Hill forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump Imagine it: standing by the pump, gripping the bottle, you spot the filler you opened wasn't the right one. Somewhere in Turners Hill, then — Esso, Shell, or somewhere else close by. Meaning? Finding out here is the best it gets. Nothing has pulled it in, so the AdBlue sits just in the tank. Do this: stay out of the car, even if the queue wants freeing. Ask the staff to help you push your car into a parking space, keep your receipt or the bottle, and ring us from the forecourt. Draining it there at the petrol pump is possible when it cannot be shifted, since the equipment is explosion-proof. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank on a Turners Hill drive? For days the dashboard had been nagging you. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the drive, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look once more at the cap. Right off Lion Lane is not different from any other place. What it means: if you have not driven since, this is nearly as good as the forecourt. On the floor of the tank sits where AdBlue stays, because it won't mix with diesel — and a night going by changes nothing of the difference. Next: the keys indoors, so nobody drives your vehicle off at breakfast. Then, ring. Out in Withypitts or here around Turners Hill, the draining happens at your driveway. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house after dark. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving in Turners Hill? Filled up, drove away, and before long the engine was turning unevenly, smoking, losing power, or flashing up the dash. Anywhere along East Street or on the road to Brighton and Hove — under 25 miles away. What it means: the fuel system has sucked the AdBlue in. Distance sets how far it goes: filter and lines to begin with, then the high-pressure pump and every injector. It travels further with every mile driven and each restart. What to do: pull over where it is safe then switch off. Turners Hill lies under 3 miles from the M23; there, come off at the next junction rather than pressing on for the services. Don't restart the car to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Ring us and say how far you drove. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank A week ago, the car was new to you. The AdBlue filler sits right alongside the diesel filler, which you did not know, since your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. It can happen to anyone, anywhere around West Sussex. In short: an extra step on top of the cases above, which turn on if it has run. Any work on the car often needs the owner's go-ahead under hire or fleet agreements. What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That is quicker settled before our technicians get there than after. If you're stuck in the car park outside East Grinstead, or by St. Leonards Church, whilst you wait for an answer, leave your car off. ## Unsure about AdBlue in your diesel tank around Turners Hill? At times, "I think so" is the most you can honestly say. What cap was taken off, you can't say; meanwhile the bottle weighs less than it ought to, and ammonia hangs by your filler. A rushed top-up by the gates of Turners Hill Church of England Primary School, or a visit to a friend in Crawley Down: both fit. What it means: a little spilled around the filler does no damage to your engine. A diesel tank with AdBlue inside is another matter. Turning on your car cannot tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in the tank it will suck it in. Your move: act as if it did, and never start the motor. Ring and give what you saw: we would rather find a clean tank than drain one after your engine has run. ## Turners Hill: what each AdBlue drain has in common Each case has the same opening to the work. We come to your car, whether it is at a forecourt, a driveway, the car park at The Crown or a side street close to Tulleys Farm, and ask three things: what got in, roughly how much, and if the engine has been run. The price is given on the call, ahead of anyone setting off, and those replies shape the work. A thorough flush comes after this drain. With petrol it is routine; with AdBlue it is crucial, since crystals build up and some metals corrode, and neither washes out unaided. Finally come your filter, flushed or renewed if necessary; clean diesel; and a check of the car. Not started? Then roughly half an hour on site is most jobs. Finally, our engineers fire it up. Our engineers confirm it runs correctly on fresh diesel before we leave. Permanent damage is very uncommon if it's spotted soon, and the whole job is done where the vehicle is. Paying is on the day, never upfront. For your insurer, there is a VAT invoice plus a report from the engineer. It is worth remembering: many insurers offer misfuelling cover, so a quick look at your policy while we travel is worthwhile. ## About Turners Hill Turners Hill is a village in West Sussex, situated near the riverside and surrounded by nearby places such as Withypitts, Selsfield Common, and Rowfant.
