Warbreck Park: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation
What to do about AdBlue in a diesel tank depends on one thing more than any other: if your engine has run since it went in. Not run yet? Then leave it that way, wherever your vehicle is — Warbreck Park or Orrell. Leave the motor and the ignition off then ring 0333 366 0103; it is generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the car is in Warbreck Park. When the motor has run, stop safely first, then switch the vehicle off. The job is bigger, yet the first stage is the same.
Wherever across Merseyside it took place, one of the cases below matches yours.
On a Warbreck Park forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel
Picture it: standing by the pump, holding the nozzle, you realise the cap you took off wasn't the correct one. It could be the BP, or perhaps the Asda, or another forecourt around Warbreck Park.
The point: of every spot to notice, this is the best. Just the tank has AdBlue; not one part beyond it has taken it in.
What to do: do not get back in and fire it up to clear the pump. Ring us from the forecourt once your vehicle sits in a bay — the attendants will help roll it — and keep the bottle. Stuck beside the pump? Our explosion-proof equipment makes a live forecourt sensible, and so it can be drained where it is.
AdBlue in the diesel tank on a Warbreck Park drive?
Days had passed with the dash light on. A bottle from the garage, tipped in at the driveway — and it's only by the bin that the cap got your eye. Homes just off Montgomery Road get caught out as much as anywhere else.
What it means: if you have not driven since, this is nearly as good as the forecourt. Diesel and AdBlue keep separate: the AdBlue settles to the base of the tank and stays put, however long it waits.
Next: prevent an early move by putting the keys in the house, then ring us. Orrell Park or Warbreck Park: whichever your driveway is, that's where it gets emptied. Night-time clears outside a house are fine: the pumps are quiet.
Set off with AdBlue in a diesel around Warbreck Park?
A mile or two after filling up, the motor started playing up: rough running, smoke, less power, lights on the dash. Warbreck Road, say, or the way to Liverpool — a trip of under 5 miles.
In short: the AdBlue has been sucked through the system. It has been through your filter and the lines and, the further you went, into your high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors. Each mile and each restart takes it further.
Do this: pull up somewhere safe, then switch your motor off. Service stations farther on are too far: from the M57, under 3 miles out of Warbreck Park, take the first junction. Do not restart the car to see if it has cleared; it will not have. About what distance did it gone? Tell us as you phone.
Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank
It is a motor you have had for a week. Your own motor either has no AdBlue or puts it elsewhere, and so no one told you the AdBlue inlet was just next to your diesel. It can happen to anyone, anywhere across Merseyside.
The point: exactly as above, divided by if it ran, only with one added stage. Many hire and company contracts want the owner to approve work on your car.
Your move: hire firm or your fleet manager first, us second, since sorting it early saves time. Stranded near Walton Vale Community Shop or outside Orrell Park till the firm replies, the vehicle remains turned off throughout.
AdBlue in your diesel tank? Not sure, in Warbreck Park
Now and then, "I think so" is all anyone can honestly say. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there is a faint smell of ammonia around your filler, and you can't remember which cap you took off. The gates of Longmoor Community Primary School in a rush, say, or someone's drive out in Fazakerley.
What it means: a little spilled round your filler does no harm to your motor. AdBlue inside your diesel tank does. You can't tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so would draw in any AdBlue that is in that tank.
Next: act as though it got in, and leave the motor off. Ring with the details: we would rather confirm a clean tank than empty one once the motor has been run.
The common ground in each Warbreck Park AdBlue drain
Whatever the case, a single opening is used. Filling station, drive, The Raven's car park or a road by Aintree Methodist Church — our van comes to the vehicle, and three answers follow: what liquid, which amount, and whether it has run. Over the phone, ahead of dispatch, you hear our price, and those replies shape the work too.
AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some metals in fuel systems, and so it does not rinse out on its own; that's why a full flush, after the drain, matters far more with AdBlue than with petrol. Fresh diesel goes in after your filter is cleaned or changed, and the car is then checked. If the motor hasn't run, most jobs take about half an hour once we're there.
The final step is firing it up. Before our engineers leave, it is checked to confirm it runs smoothly on new diesel. Our engineers do the whole job where the vehicle is, and permanent damage is very rare if it has been spotted quickly. Paying comes that day, never in advance. For your insurer, there is a VAT invoice plus a written report from the engineer. Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it is worth checking yours whilst we are on the way.
