Vinney Green: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation
One fact counts above all once AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and it is if your motor has run since. Not started yet? Then keep it like that, whether the vehicle sits — Vinney Green or Bromley Heath. Usually this is draining and properly purging it on the spot around Vinney Green — so keep your key and engine off and call 0333 366 0103. When your motor has run, pull in safely straight away, then turn it off. A bigger job, then, yet the identical first step.
Match what happened to one of the list below, anywhere around Gloucestershire you are.
On a Vinney Green forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel
Picture it: standing by the pump, holding the nozzle, you spot the cap you took off wasn't the correct one. Somewhere in Vinney Green, then — Shell, Sainsbury's, or anywhere else nearby.
What it means: this is the best location to find out. The AdBlue is in that tank and nowhere else. Nothing has drawn it in.
Next: avoid the temptation to start it just to free up the petrol pump. Ring us from the forecourt after the car sits in a space — the attendants will lend a hand to roll it — and keep the receipt. The equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a live forecourt, and so a car that can't be pushed away gets emptied right at the petrol pump.
Vinney Green, at home: AdBlue in your diesel tank
For days the dashboard had been nagging you. Bought a container, tipped it in outside the house, binned the empty — and only then checked the cap a second time, too late. Just off Oak Tree Close is no less likely from any other place.
Meaning? Provided your vehicle hasn't moved since, it's second to the pump case. On the floor of that tank sits exactly where AdBlue stays, because it won't blend with diesel — and a night going by changes no difference.
Next: the keys indoors, and so no one takes your car anywhere at breakfast. After that, ring. Your driveway is where it gets drained, whether around Vinney Green or Blackhorse. Our equipment works quiet enough that it won't wake the street at night.
Vinney Green: drove off with AdBlue in a diesel?
Rough running, smoke, lost power or a lit dashboard started a mile or two beyond the top-up. Westerleigh Road, perhaps, or the route to Bristol — a run of under 10 miles.
Put simply: the AdBlue has been pulled through your fuel system. The injection pump and each injector get it as well on a longer trip, after the fuel filter and pipework have had it. More driving, more restarts: deeper it goes.
Next: find a sensible place, stop, then switch your motor off. Exit at the next junction — not the services beyond — if you're on the M4, under a mile from Vinney Green. Starting it again to test achieves nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear on its own. Call, and say what distance the car was driven.
AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company vehicles
You've had this vehicle barely a week. The AdBlue filler sits right next to the diesel one, which you didn't know, because your own car either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Wherever you are in Gloucestershire, every driver can slip up.
What it means: the same as the scenarios above, depending on whether it has run, with one more stage. Many hire and company contracts want the owner to approve work on the vehicle.
Settling it before we arrives is quicker, so ring the hire company or your fleet manager, then us. Stranded near Resound or at Bristol Parkway till someone answers, the car stays switched off throughout.
AdBlue in the diesel tank? Not sure, around Vinney Green
Occasionally the fair answer is "I think so". Too light, the bottle; a hint of ammonia near your filler; no clear memory of the cap. Sound familiar? Maybe at a friend's drive in Mangotsfield, or in a rush by Emersons Green Primary School at the school run.
Meaning? Spills around the filler never touch the motor at all. AdBlue inside your diesel tank does. Any AdBlue in your tank will be drawn in by starting the car, and the start would not settle which it is in any case.
Next: act as though it went in, and leave the engine off. Ring with what you saw: we would sooner find a tank free of AdBlue than empty one after your engine has been run.
The common ground in each Vinney Green AdBlue drain
Whichever situation you are in, the job starts the same way. Three things are asked once we arrive — at a filling station, a driveway, a road beside Springfield Gospel Hall or the car park at Langley Arms: the fluid, the quantity, and whether it has been started. Over the phone, ahead of anything else, you hear our quote, and those answers shape the job too.
Emptying your tank comes next, followed by a careful flush — more vital with urea than with petrol, since crystals and corrosion will not clear on their own, no matter how long it sits. Fresh diesel goes in once the fuel filter has been cleaned or changed, and your car is then tested. Not started? In that case roughly half an hour once we are there covers most jobs.
Last, our engineers fire it up. Our technicians confirm it runs properly on fresh diesel before leaving. Our technicians do the entire job where the car is, and long-term damage is very unusual when it has been noticed soon. Nothing is taken upfront, settlement is made on the day, and you receive what the insurer asks for: an engineer report and a VAT invoice. It is worth remembering: lots of insurers offer misfuelling cover, so a check of your policy while we travel is worthwhile.
