AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Wilson and Kennards Yard: What Now?
Has your engine run since the AdBlue got in? That one point decides nearly everything about what comes next. If it has not, keep it that way, whether the vehicle is around Wilson and Kennards Yard itself or out in Warminster Common. Phone 0333 366 0103 with your ignition and engine both off. Across Wilson and Kennards Yard, such a case is typically emptied and flushed where it stands. When your engine has run, stop somewhere safe first, then turn the car off. It's a larger job, yet step one does not change.
Anywhere across Wiltshire it happened, one of the cases below fits yours.
AdBlue in a diesel on a Wilson and Kennards Yard forecourt
Picture it: stood by the pump, gripping the bottle, you realise the filler you opened was not the correct one. Possibly you are at the Morrisons, maybe at the Esso, perhaps somewhere else in Wilson and Kennards Yard.
The point: of every spot to find out, this is the best. Just the tank holds AdBlue; no component beyond it has taken it in.
Freeing the pump is no reason to run it — so don't get back in. Phone us from the forecourt after your vehicle is in a space — the attendants will lend a hand to push it — and save the bottle. The equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a live forecourt, so a vehicle that can't be pushed away gets cleared where it is at the pump.
AdBlue in your diesel tank at home in Wilson and Kennards Yard
Days had passed with the dash light on. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the driveway, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look once more at the cap. Homes just off Market Place are hit as often as anywhere else.
Meaning? Provided the vehicle hasn't moved since, it's close to the pump case. As it is reluctant to mix, AdBlue settles to the base inside your tank and stays. A night parked changes nothing.
Next: prevent an early drive by putting your keys indoors, then ring us. Warminster or Wilson and Kennards Yard: whichever your driveway sits, that is where it is drained. Even at night, the pumps are quiet enough for a driveway.
AdBlue in a diesel and already driving in Wilson and Kennards Yard?
Lumpy running, smoke, lost power or a glowing dashboard arrived a short way after the fill. Perhaps it was on Station Road, possibly on the way out towards Bath, under 15 miles away.
What it means: your fuel system has pulled the AdBlue in. It's been through your filter and your lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure fuel pump and the fuel injectors. Every restart, like each mile, pushes it on.
Your move: stop anywhere sensible, then turn your engine off. Leave by the first junction — not the services further along — if you're on the M4, under 25 miles from Wilson and Kennards Yard. It won't have cleared, so there's no sense restarting to find out. Phone us and say how far you went.
A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank?
You have just driven the vehicle a week. Unbeknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel inlets are next to each other here — not like your own car, which has no AdBlue or stores it in another spot. Anyone, wherever in Wiltshire, might make it.
What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it has run, with one more stage. The owner frequently has to approve any work, under plenty of rental and company agreements.
Sorting it before the van arrives is quicker, and so ring the rental company or your fleet manager, and then us. Stuck by Chapel of St. Lawrence Warminster or outside Warminster until the firm replies, the vehicle stays switched off the whole time.
Not sure it was AdBlue in your diesel tank, Wilson and Kennards Yard?
Now and then, "I think so" is the most you can truthfully say. What cap came off, you can't recall; meanwhile the bottle weighs less than it ought to, and ammonia lingers by your filler. The gates of The Avenue Primary School and Children's Centre in a hurry, say, or someone's drive over in Henfords Marsh.
The upshot: the motor is not hurt by some AdBlue spilled on the outside. Inside your diesel tank, by contrast, AdBlue damages it. If there is AdBlue in your tank, firing up your car will pull it in, and it would not tell you which either.
Next: act as though it got in, then keep your engine off. Call us and describe what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out free of AdBlue than drain one that has already been run.
What every AdBlue drain in Wilson and Kennards Yard has in common
Whatever the situation, one start is used. Filling station, drive, The Bath Arms's car park or a street beside Library and Museum — the van reaches the vehicle, and three answers follow: what liquid, which quantity, and if it has run. Your price comes over the phone, ahead of anyone setting off, and the answers set the job.
Then that tank is cleared and the fuel system flushed thoroughly, which counts more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, so it doesn't rinse out on its own. Clean diesel goes in once the filter is flushed or replaced, and the car is finally tested. Never started? In that case roughly half an hour on site is most jobs.
Finally, we start it. We make sure it runs properly on clean diesel before we leave. If it's spotted early, the car very seldom has long-term damage, and the whole job takes place where it is. Paying comes on the day, never upfront. For the insurer, you get a VAT invoice and a report from the engineer. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it is worth checking yours while we are on the way.
