AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Westwood Heath All of that turns on one detail: if the motor has started after the AdBlue was added — far more than anything else. Over in Canley or here around Westwood Heath, an unrun engine should stay unrun. Leave the motor and the ignition off then call 0333 366 0103; it's usually a drain and a thorough flush, done where your car is in Westwood Heath. Already run? Stop when you safely can, then switch everything off. Stage one stays unchanged, even though the job grows. Find the scenario below that matches yours, wherever in West Midlands it happened. ## On a Westwood Heath forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel Picture it: standing by the pump, holding the bottle, you realise the filler you opened wasn't the right one. Perhaps you are at the Pace, maybe at the Tesco, possibly somewhere else around Westwood Heath. The upshot: of all places to find out, the forecourt is the best. Only that tank has AdBlue; no component past it has taken any in. What to do: do not get back in and crank it to clear the petrol pump. Ask the attendants to help you roll your car into a parking spot, keep the receipt or the bottle, and phone us from the forecourt. If it cannot be moved, it can be drained at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt. ## Westwood Heath, at home: AdBlue in your diesel tank On the dash, a warning had been lit all week. A bottle bought at the shop, tipped in at the driveway — and it was only at the recycling that the cap caught a second look. Driveways near Highgrove see it as much as anywhere. The point: no miles since makes this almost equal to finding it at the petrol pump. Diesel and AdBlue keep apart: the AdBlue settles to the floor of the tank and stays put, however long the night. Your move: the keys in the house, so nobody takes your vehicle anywhere first thing. After that, phone. Your driveway is where it gets drained, whether around Westwood Heath or Kirby Corner. The equipment runs quiet enough that it won't wake the street at night. ## Set off with AdBlue in a diesel around Westwood Heath? A short way beyond filling up, the motor started playing up: rough running, smoke, lost power, warnings on your dash. Somewhere along Westwood Heath Road or on the road towards Coventry — under 5 miles away. In short: the AdBlue has been pulled into the system. Through your filter, along the lines, and — the further the mileage — deeper into the injection pump and every injector. It goes further with each mile driven and each restart. Pull in safely — that is the next job — then turn it off. Services farther along are too far: from the M6, under 10 miles out of Westwood Heath, use the next junction. No test restarts: clearing is not something AdBlue does. Phone, and say what distance your vehicle went. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank You have had this car hardly a week. The AdBlue filler sits right next to the diesel one, which you didn't know, since your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Across West Midlands, nobody is immune. The upshot: just as above, divided by if it ran, only with an added step. Plenty of hire and fleet agreements need the owner's sign-off for repairs. Settling it before the van arrives is faster, and so phone the rental company or your fleet manager, then us. Leave it switched off while the reply comes, even if you're parked at Tile Hill or near Greek orthodox Church of the Holy Transfiguration. ## Unsure about AdBlue in your diesel tank around Westwood Heath? Occasionally the fair answer is "I think so". The bottle is lighter than it should be, there is a faint smell of ammonia around the filler, and you cannot remember which cap you took off. Perhaps it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Charter Academy, or on a friend's drive in Westwood Gardens. What it means: a little spilled around your filler does no harm to the motor. In your diesel tank, by contrast, AdBlue damages it. Starting the car will not tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in the tank it will draw it in. Take it that it went in, and never turn your key. Phone with the details: we would rather confirm a tank free of AdBlue than empty one after the motor has run. ## The common ground in every Westwood Heath AdBlue drain Whichever scenario you are in, the job starts the same way. Our technicians come to the car, whether it's on a forecourt, a driveway, the car park at Varsity or a side street close to St John's Church Westwood, and ask three things: what got in, about how much, and if your motor has run. Over the phone, before dispatch, you are told our quote, and those answers decide the work too. AdBlue forms crystals and eats at some metals used in fuel systems, and so it won't wash out on its own; that is why the flush, after this drain, matters much more with AdBlue than with petrol. Fresh diesel goes in after the filter has been flushed or changed, and the car is finally checked. If your motor hasn't run, most jobs take about half an hour once we are there. Finally, we start the engine. Before our technicians leave, it's checked to confirm it runs smoothly on new diesel. The whole job is done where your car is, and if it's caught soon, permanent damage is very rare. 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's worth checking yours while we are on the way. ## About Westwood Heath Westwood Heath is a small suburban area located near Coventry in the West Midlands, sitting at an elevation of around 104 metres.
