Everything turns on a single detail: whether the engine has been run since the AdBlue went in — far more than anything else. Anywhere the car is — Shenley Fields, Weoley Castle — don't start an engine that hasn't run yet. Usually this means draining and properly purging it right there in Weoley Castle — so keep the key and engine off then ring 0333 366 0103. Where the engine has run, pull in somewhere safe straight away, then turn the car off. The job is bigger, yet the first step is the same. Find the situation below that matches yours, wherever around West Midlands it happened. ## AdBlue in a diesel on a Weoley Castle forecourt The cap you opened was the wrong one — and you just notice it while you are stood at the petrol pump, bottle or nozzle in hand. It might be the BP, or the Esso, or another forecourt in Weoley Castle. The upshot: of every spot to notice, this is the best. The AdBlue is in your tank and nowhere else. Nothing has sucked it in. Your move: stay out of the car, however much the queue needs freeing. Phone us from the forecourt once your car is in a space — the attendants will help roll it — then save the receipt. Can't move it by the petrol pump? Our explosion-proof equipment makes a busy forecourt sensible, so we can drain the car where it is. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank at home in Weoley Castle On your dash, a warning had shown all week. Picked up a bottle, poured it in at home, binned the empty — and only then looked at the cap again, too late. Homes just off Castle Square are hit as much as anywhere else. Meaning? Provided your vehicle hasn't been driven since, it's close to the forecourt case. On the bottom of the tank is exactly where AdBlue waits, since it won't mix with diesel — and a night going by changes no difference. Next: prevent an early move by putting your keys in the house, then phone us. Your drive is where it gets drained, whether in Weoley Castle or California. The equipment runs quietly enough not to disturb the neighbours at night. ## Weoley Castle: set off with AdBlue in a diesel? Rough running, smoke, falling power or a lit dashboard arrived a short way beyond the fill. It might have been driving for Birmingham, under 5 miles away, or just down Weoley Castle Road. What it means: the system has drawn the AdBlue in. The high-pressure pump and each injector see it too on a bigger run, once the fuel filter and pipework have it. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Do this: stop somewhere sensible, then turn the motor off. Leave by the first junction — not the services beyond — if you're on the M5, under 3 miles from Weoley Castle. It will not have cleared, and so there's no sense starting it again to find out. Phone us and say how far you drove. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company motors It is a motor you have had for a week. Unbeknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel inlets sit side by side here — not like your own vehicle, which has none or stores it in another spot. Wherever you are in West Midlands, any motorist could be caught. Put simply: one extra stage on top of the situations above, which depend on if it's run. Many hire and company contracts want the owner to approve work on the car. What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That is faster settled before our technicians get there than after. Stranded near Elim Pentecostal Church or outside Selly Oak till the firm answers, your vehicle remains turned off throughout. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank? Not sure, around Weoley Castle Now and then, "I think so" is all anyone can honestly say. Too light, that bottle; a hint of ammonia near your filler; no clear memory of which cap. Sound familiar? Possibly it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Princethorpe Junior School, or on a friend's drive in Woodgate Valley. In short: a spill round the filler leaves the motor unharmed. If it is inside the diesel tank, though, that changes. If there is AdBlue in your tank, turning on the car would suck it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either. Your move: act as though it got in, and never start your engine. Inspecting a tank that turns out free of AdBlue is better than emptying one after it's been run — so ring then describe to us what you saw. ## Weoley Castle: what every AdBlue drain has in common Whatever the situation, one start is used. Our engineers come to your car, whether it is at a forecourt, a driveway, the car park outside the pub in the village or a side street near Weoley Castle Library, and ask three things: what got in, about how much, and if your engine has been run. On the phone, ahead of anything else, you are told the price, and those answers shape the job too. A thorough flush follows the drain. With petrol it is routine; with AdBlue it's crucial, because deposits form and certain metals are attacked, and none of that washes away unaided. Then comes the filter — flushed, or swapped when needed — then clean diesel, and a test of your car. Never started? Then about half an hour on site covers most jobs. Starting the car comes at the end. We check it runs properly on clean diesel before leaving. Lasting damage is very uncommon if it's caught quickly, and the whole job is done where your car is. For your insurer: an engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment that day, nothing upfront. It is worth knowing: lots of insurers offer misfuelling cover, and so a quick look at your documents while you wait is worthwhile. ## About Weoley Castle and where it is Weoley Castle is a suburban area in the West Midlands, situated near the River Rea and close to the city of Birmingham.
