# AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Weston in Arden, and What to Do Next

What to do about AdBlue in a diesel tank comes down to one thing more than any other: whether your engine has run since it was put in.

If it hasn't, keep it that way, whether the car is around Weston in Arden itself or out in Bramcote Mains.

Keep nothing on, phone 0333 366 0103, then count on a proper flush after a drain, done just where your vehicle sits around Weston in Arden.

Already run? Stop once you safely can, then switch it off.

Step one stays unchanged, even if the job grows.

Anywhere in Warwickshire it happened, one of the cases below matches yours.

## On a Weston in Arden forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel

You're at the pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one.

Possibly you're at the the nearest petrol station, perhaps at the Tesco, possibly somewhere else around Weston in Arden.

Meaning? Finding out here is the best it can be.

The AdBlue is in your tank and nowhere else. Nothing has pulled it in.

What to do: don't get back in and fire it up to clear the pump.

A few things: a push into a space with the attendants helping, the receipt saved, and a ring to us from where you stand.

Draining it there at the pump is possible if it can't be shifted, since the equipment is explosion-proof.

## At home around Weston in Arden with AdBlue in your diesel tank

The warning light had been on for days.

A bottle bought at the garage, emptied in at the driveway — and it was only by the bin that the cap caught a second look.

Homes just off Mill Lane are caught out as much as anywhere else.

Put simply: if the vehicle hasn't moved since, it's nearly as good as spotting it at the pump.

At the bottom of your tank is where AdBlue waits, because it will not blend with diesel — and a night going by makes no difference.

What to do: leave the keys inside the house so no one moves the car in the morning. Then ring.

Your drive is where it gets emptied, whether in Weston in Arden or Bulkington.

Late-night clears beside a house are no problem: the pumps are quiet.

## Weston in Arden: drove off with AdBlue in a diesel?

Filled up, drove away, and soon your engine was turning roughly, smoking, losing power, or flashing up your dash.

Somewhere along Weston Lane or heading to Coventry — under 10 miles away.

In short: the AdBlue has been pulled into the system.

The injection pump and every injector get it too on a bigger run, once the fuel filter and lines have it.

Each restart, like each mile, carries it deeper.

Stop safely — that is the next job — then turn it off.

Service stations farther on can wait: from the M69, under 3 miles out of Weston in Arden, take the next junction.

It will not have cleared, so there's no point restarting to find out.

Ring us and say how far you went.

## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank?

You have only had the vehicle for days.

The AdBlue filler sits right beside the diesel filler, which you didn't know, since your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else.

It can happen to anyone, anywhere in Warwickshire.

The upshot: exactly as above, divided by whether it ran, only with an added stage.

The owner frequently needs to approve the work, under plenty of hire and company contracts.

Settling it before the van turn up is faster, so ring the rental company or your fleet manager, then us.

If you're stranded in the car park at Bedworth, or by Our Lady Of The Sacred Heart, while you wait for an answer, leave the car off.

## Unsure about AdBlue in the diesel tank in Weston in Arden?

At times, "I think so" is all you can honestly say.

A slight ammonia-like whiff hangs near your filler, the bottle feels too light, and which cap came off is hard to recall.

The gates of Arden Forest Infant School in a hurry, perhaps, or someone's drive out in Whitestone.

Put simply: a spill near the filler does your engine no harm.

AdBlue inside your diesel tank does.

Any AdBlue in the tank will be sucked in by starting the car, and the start would not settle which it is in any case.

Take it that it was put in, and never turn your key.

Ring with the details: we'd rather find a tank free of AdBlue than drain one after the motor has been run.

## What every AdBlue drain around Weston in Arden has in common

Whatever the situation, one opening is used.

Wherever your car stands — Rule and Compass's car park, a road beside St James, a drive, a filling station — the van gets there and we ask for the fluid, the quantity, and whether your motor has been run.

Over the phone, ahead of dispatch, you hear our price, and those replies shape the work too.

A thorough flush follows the drain. With petrol it is routine; with AdBlue it is crucial, since crystals form and some metals corrode, and neither washes out unaided.

Finally are the fuel filter, cleaned or renewed if necessary; clean diesel; and a check of the car.

The majority of unstarted vehicles are a half-hour visit from the moment we turn up.

Lastly, our technicians fire it up.

With fresh diesel in, it runs while our engineers check it is running smoothly, and then we head off.

The entire job is done where the vehicle is, and when it is caught quickly, long-term damage is very unusual.

Nothing is paid upfront, settlement happens on the day, and you receive what your insurer wants: an engineer report and a VAT invoice.

It is worth remembering: many insurers include misfuelling cover, and so a check of your documents while you wait pays.
