Find Your Situation All of that turns on one detail: whether the engine has started after the AdBlue went in — far more than anything else. Not started so far? Then keep the vehicle that way, wherever the car is — Vogue or Trefula. Leave your motor and the ignition off then call 0333 366 0103; it's usually a drain and a thorough flush, done where the car is around Vogue. Pull over the moment you safely can and turn off, if it has already run. It is a bigger job, yet step one doesn't change. Below: the situations our engineers see, anywhere in Cornwall. Choose yours. ## Vogue forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump The cap you unscrewed was the wrong one — and you only notice it as you're stood at the petrol pump, bottle or the nozzle in hand. Anywhere around Vogue, then — Texaco, Shell, or anywhere else nearby. Meaning? Spotting it here is the best it can be. Only the tank has AdBlue; not one component beyond it has drawn any in. Next: avoid the temptation to start it only to move away from the petrol pump. Ask the staff to help you roll the car into a parking bay, keep your receipt or the bottle, and call us from the forecourt. Draining it there at the pump is possible when it can't be moved, since the equipment is explosion-proof. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank on a Vogue 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 again at the cap. Right off Vogue Hill is no different from any other place. Meaning? As long as the car has not been driven since, it is close to the forecourt case. AdBlue doesn't mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of the tank and waits there. Overnight does not change that. Next: the keys in the house, and so no one takes the car anywhere first thing. Then, phone. Your driveway is where it gets emptied, be it around Vogue or Tolcarne. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house after dark. ## On the road in Vogue with AdBlue in a diesel A mile or two beyond filling up, the engine began misbehaving: rough running, smoke, lost power, warnings on your dash. Anywhere along Tolcarne Road or heading to Truro — under 10 miles away. What it means: the system has drawn the AdBlue in. Through the filter, through the lines, and — the further the distance — on into the high-pressure pump and each injector. Each mile and each restart takes it further. What to do: pull over where it is safe to do so then switch off. On the M5, over 50 miles from Vogue, that means the next junction, not the services further on. Do not restart the car to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Call us and say how far you went. ## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank? You've had this vehicle hardly a week. Your own car either does without AdBlue or puts it somewhere different, so no one warned you the AdBlue inlet sits just next to the diesel. Throughout Cornwall, nobody is immune. In short: an extra step on top of the cases above, which turn on whether it has run. The owner frequently needs to approve any work, under plenty of rental and fleet agreements. Next: phone the hire company or the fleet manager first, then us — sorting it before we arrive is quicker. Stranded near St Day Community Centre or outside Redruth until the firm replies, the vehicle remains switched off the whole time. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank? Not sure, around Vogue "I think so" is sometimes the most honest as it gets. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's a faint smell of ammonia round the filler, and you cannot remember which cap you took off. It might have been on a friend's drive in Higher Ninnis, or in a rush outside St Day and Carharrack Community School at the school run. Meaning? Spills around the filler don't reach your engine at all. AdBlue inside your diesel tank does. Any AdBlue in the tank would be drawn in by starting your car, and the start would not settle which it is in any case. What to do: treat it as if it was put in. Do not fire it up. Ring with the details: we'd sooner confirm a tank free of AdBlue than empty one once your engine has been run. ## Every AdBlue drain around Vogue shares these steps No matter the case, one start applies. We come to your car, whether it's on a forecourt, a drive, the car park outside The Star Inn at Vogue or a side street near Holy Trinity Parish Church, St. Day, and ask three things: what got in, roughly how much, and whether your motor has been run. Replies set the work; the quote comes on the call while no one has set off yet. Then the tank is emptied and your system flushed thoroughly, which matters more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, and so it doesn't rinse out on its own. Then comes your filter — cleaned, or replaced when needed — then clean diesel, and a test of the vehicle. Where your engine hasn't run, expect about half an hour on site, for most cases. The final step is starting the engine. Before our technicians go, it's checked to be sure it runs correctly on clean diesel. The entire job is done where your car is, and when it's spotted quickly, long-term damage is very uncommon. For your insurer: an engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment on the day, no money in advance. Dig out your insurance before we arrive: misfuelling cover comes built into plenty of policies. ## About Vogue, for a moment Vogue is a suburban area in Cornwall, situated inland at an elevation of 116 metres, approximately 6.4 miles from the city of Truro. Vogue is characterized by its predominantly detached housing stock, reflecting the area's residential development. Vogue is close to nearby places such as Tolcarne, St Day, and Lower Ninnis, and is part of the wider Truro urban area. ## AdBlue drains around Vogue, and across Cornwall too As a residential suburb, Vogue has the same vans as the surrounding towns — Lower Ninnis, St Day — all the way across TR postcodes. The location comes clearest from a postcode beginning TR16 5. Central Vogue or a lay-by towards Wheal Jewel Playing Field: wherever it is, your car never needs to move at all for us. The drain happens on the spot. Tricky to pin down? Close to St Day Methodist Church or a border? Checking is better than assuming, and so phone. ## Your situation, summed up Unstarted? Keep it that way then ring. Already run: stop, switch off and call. Either way, Petrol in Diesel takes it from there in Vogue and anywhere across Cornwall on 0333 366 0103.
