Wherever the car is — Ovenden, Wheatley — don't start a motor that has not run yet. Keep nothing on, phone 0333 366 0103, and count on a proper flush after a drain, carried out right where your vehicle stands around Wheatley. If it's run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. The job is bigger, yet the first stage is the same. Wherever around West Yorkshire it took place, one of the situations below matches yours. ## Wheatley forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump Just at this point, bottle still in hand, you realise that the cap you took off was the wrong one, right at the pump. Somewhere around Wheatley, then — Esso, Asda, or anywhere else close by. Meaning? Finding out on the forecourt is the best it can be. No pump has drawn it in, and so the AdBlue stays just in your tank. Do this: keep out of the car, however much the queue wants clearing. Three jobs: a push into a space with the attendants helping, the receipt saved, and a call to us from where you stand. If it cannot be moved, it can be drained at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt. ## At home around Wheatley with AdBlue in your diesel tank For days the dashboard had been nagging you. Picked up a container, tipped it in at home, binned the empty — and only then looked at the cap again, after the fact. Driveways close to Long Lane get it as much as any other street. Meaning? As long as your vehicle has not been driven since, it is second to the pump case. Being reluctant to mix, AdBlue settles to the base inside that tank and stays. One night parked alters none of that. Put the keys in the house overnight — otherwise a person may drive it off at breakfast — and call us. Our engineers drain it on your drive, whether that is around Wheatley or out in Pellon. Late-night clears outside a house are no problem: the pumps are quiet. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving in Wheatley? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later the motor began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. It might have been heading to Bradford, under 10 miles away, or just down Hebble Vale Drive. Meaning? The pump has taken the AdBlue in. It has been through the fuel filter and the fuel lines and, the further you went, into your high-pressure pump and your injectors. It goes deeper with every extra mile covered and each restart. What to do: pull over where it is safe to do so then switch off. Services farther on are too far: on the M62, under 5 miles out of Wheatley, use the first junction. Do not restart it to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Tell us hear the mileage driven as you ring. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car It is a motor you have had for a week. Unknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel inlets are side by side here — not like your own car, which has none or stores it in another spot. Any driver, wherever around West Yorkshire, could make the same. Meaning? Whichever case above applies too — run or unrun — plus one extra stage. Many rental and fleet contracts require the owner's approval for repairs. Next: phone the hire company or your fleet manager first, then us — sorting it before we arrive is quicker. Keep the car switched off while the answer arrives, whether you're parked outside Halifax or near Our Lady Of Lourdes & St Malachy. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in your diesel tank, Wheatley? Truthfully, the only answer might be that you think so. What cap came off, you cannot recall; but the bottle feels less than expected, and ammonia lingers by your filler. The gates of Christ Church Pellon CofE VC Primary School in a hurry, say, or someone's drive over in Lee Mount. Meaning? Spills outside the inlet never touch your motor at all. The diesel tank with AdBlue in it is a different story. Any AdBlue in that tank will be sucked in by turning on the vehicle, and the start wouldn't settle which it is in any case. Assume it was put in, and never turn the key. Describe what you noticed on the phone. A clean tank checked is a better result than a run one emptied. ## Wheatley: what every AdBlue drain has in common No matter the case, a single opening applies. Anywhere your vehicle is — Long Can Hall's car park, a street beside Christ Church, a driveway, a filling station — the van arrives and asks about the liquid, the quantity, plus if your motor has been run. Over the phone, ahead of anything else, you hear the quote, and those replies decide the job too. Then the tank is drained and the system rinsed thoroughly, which counts more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, and so it does not rinse out on its own. The fuel filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and the car is tested. Most unstarted vehicles are a half-hour visit after the moment we arrive. The last step is starting the engine. Before we leave, it's tested to make sure it runs properly on new diesel. Our technicians do the whole job where the car is, and lasting damage is very rare when it has been spotted soon. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Check your insurance while we arrive: misfuelling cover comes built into plenty of policies. ## About Wheatley Wheatley is a suburban area in West Yorkshire, situated near several lakes and overlooking the surrounding countryside from an elevation of around 168 metres.
