--- title: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank Wembdon: What Now canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/wembdon-somerset/ location: Wembdon county: Somerset latitude: 51.134000 longitude: -3.023450 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-20 --- # AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Wembdon, and What to Do Next Has the engine run since the AdBlue went in? This one question decides nearly everything about what comes next. Out in Perry Green or here in Wembdon, an unstarted motor should stay unrun. Usually this is emptying and thoroughly flushing it on the spot in Wembdon — so keep the ignition and motor off then phone 0333 366 0103. If it has run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. Stage one remains unchanged, even though the work grows. Match what happened to a situation from the list below, anywhere in Somerset you happen to be. ## At the petrol pump in Wembdon: AdBlue in a diesel You are at the petrol pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one. Somewhere in Wembdon, then — Shell, Morrisons, or somewhere else close by. Put simply: no better place exists to discover it. The AdBlue is inside your tank and nowhere else. Nothing has sucked it in. Clearing the petrol pump is no reason to run it — so don't get back in. A few jobs: a push into a space with the attendants assisting, the bottle kept, and a call to us from where you stand. Can't move it by the pump? Our explosion-proof kit makes a busy forecourt safe, and so it can be drained where it is. ## Wembdon, at home: AdBlue in your diesel tank On your dash, a reminder had been lit for days. Bought a container, tipped it in at home, recycled the empty — and at that point looked at the cap a second time, after the fact. Homes just off Wembdon Rise get hit as much as anywhere else. The upshot: zero driving since leaves this almost as good to spotting it at the pump. Being unable to blend, AdBlue drops low inside your tank and stays. One night standing alters none of that. Keep your keys in the house overnight — otherwise a person might drive it off first thing — and phone us. Newtown or Wembdon: whichever your driveway is, that's where it is cleared. Night-time drains outside a house are fine: the pumps are low-noise. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving around Wembdon? Topped up, pulled away, and before long the engine was running unevenly, smoking, down on power, or flashing up the dash. Wembdon Hill, perhaps, or the route towards Wells — a trip of under 25 miles. The upshot: the system has drawn AdBlue through already. Mileage decides how far it gets: filter and lines first, then the injection pump and every injector. More driving, more starts: deeper it goes. Stop safely — that is the next step — then switch everything off. Wembdon lies under 3 miles from the M5; there, pull off at the first junction rather than pushing on for the services. It will not have cleared, so there is no sense starting it again to check. Phone, and say how far the car was driven. ## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank? You've had this vehicle hardly a week. On your own vehicle, AdBlue is absent or somewhere else. On this one, its cap is just next to the diesel cap — a surprise to you. It can happen to anyone, anywhere across Somerset. In short: one extra step on top of the cases above, which turn on if it's run. Plenty of rental and fleet agreements need the owner's approval for work. Do this: rental firm or your fleet manager first, us second, because sorting it beforehand saves time. Keep the car off while the answer comes, whether you're parked outside Bridgwater or near St George's Parish Centre. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, Wembdon? At times, "I think so" is the most anyone can truthfully say. A faint ammonia-like smell hangs near your filler, the bottle feels too light, and the cap you took off is hard to recall. Perhaps it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Wembdon St George's Church School, or on a friend's drive in Eastover. The point: your engine isn't harmed by some AdBlue spilled on the filler. Once it's inside your diesel tank, though, that changes. Any AdBlue in your tank will be drawn in by turning on the vehicle, and the start would not settle which it is in any case. What to do: treat it as if it got in. Do not start the car. Ring us and explain what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out clean than drain one that has already been run. ## The common ground in every Wembdon AdBlue drain No matter the case, one opening applies. Our technicians come to the vehicle, whether it is at a forecourt, a driveway, the car park outside The Cottage Inn or a side street near The Green at Wembdon, and ask three things: what went in, about how much, and if your motor has been run. Over the phone, before anything else, you hear our price, and those replies decide the job too. A thorough flush comes after this drain. With petrol it is routine; with AdBlue it is crucial, because crystals form and certain metals are attacked, and none of it rinses out unaided. Then is the filter — cleaned, or swapped when necessary — then clean diesel, and a test of the car. Most unstarted cars are a half-hour visit after the moment we turn up. The final step is starting the engine. Our test that it runs smoothly on clean diesel comes before we go. If it's caught soon, the vehicle very rarely has permanent damage, and the whole job takes place where it is. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it is worth checking yours whilst we're on the way. ## About Wembdon, briefly Wembdon is a village situated on the River Parrett in Somerset, with a low elevation of around 13 metres above sea level.
