Everything hinges on a single fact: if your motor has been run since the AdBlue went in — more than anything else. If it hasn't, keep it that way, whether your car is in Wombwell Park itself or out in Northfleet. Leave your engine and the ignition off and ring 0333 366 0103; it's generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the vehicle is around Wombwell Park. Stop the minute it is safe and turn off, if it has already run. It's a larger job, yet step one does not change. Below: the cases our technicians meet, wherever around Kent. Choose yours. ## On a Wombwell Park forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel The cap you unscrewed was the wrong one — and you just notice it as you are standing at the petrol pump, bottle or the nozzle in your hand. Possibly you are at the Sainsbury's, perhaps at the Texaco, maybe somewhere else in Wombwell Park. Put simply: there is no better spot exists to discover it. The AdBlue is in the tank and nowhere else. Nothing has pulled it in. Do this: keep out of the car, even if the pump needs clearing. Three things: a push into a space with the staff assisting, the bottle kept, and a ring to us from the forecourt. 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 petrol pump. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank at home in Wombwell Park Several days had passed with the dash light on. Only at the recycling bin, the empty bottle in your hand, did you glance back at the cap you'd opened at the driveway. Drives close to Hall Road get it as much as any other street. Meaning? As long as the vehicle hasn't been driven since, it's second to the forecourt case. AdBlue does not mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of that tank and waits there. Overnight does not change that. Next: keys indoors, so no one takes your vehicle anywhere at breakfast. Then, phone. Pepper Hill or Wombwell Park: wherever your drive is, that's where it is drained. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house after dark. ## On the road around Wombwell Park with AdBlue in a diesel Filled up, pulled away, and soon your engine was running unevenly, smoking, down on power, or lighting up your dash. Colyer Road, perhaps, or the route towards Southend-on-Sea — a run of under 25 miles. Put simply: the AdBlue has been pulled through the fuel system. It's been through the filter and your lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure fuel pump and your injectors. More miles, more starts: deeper it goes. Your move: stop somewhere sensible, then turn your engine off. Services farther on are too far: on the M25, under 5 miles out of Wombwell Park, take the first junction. Starting it again to test achieves nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear itself. Ring us and say how far you travelled. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank It is a vehicle you have had for a week. On your own car, AdBlue is missing or elsewhere. On this one, its inlet is just by the diesel cap — news to you. Throughout Kent, no one is immune. In short: an extra stage on top of the cases above, which turn on whether it's run. Work on the vehicle frequently needs the owner's approval under rental or company agreements. Next: phone the rental company or your fleet manager first, then us — sorting it before we arrive is quicker. Keep the vehicle switched off while the answer comes, whether you are waiting outside Ebbsfleet International or near Northfleet Bowling Club. ## Wombwell Park: unsure if it was AdBlue in the diesel tank? Now and then, "I think so" is the most you can honestly say. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there is a faint smell of ammonia around the filler, and you can't remember which cap you took off. The gates of Painters Ash Primary School in a rush, say, or a friend's drive over in Northfleet Green. What it means: a little spilled about the filler does no harm to your motor. In your diesel tank, by contrast, AdBlue damages it. Any AdBlue in your tank would be sucked in by starting your car, and the start would not settle which it is in any case. Your move: behave as if it did, and don't start your motor. Checking a tank that turns out clean beats draining one once it has been run — so ring then tell us what you saw. ## What every AdBlue drain in Wombwell Park has in common Whichever scenario you are in, the job starts the same way. Wherever the vehicle stands — The Painters Ash's car park, a road by Dene Holm Methodist Church, a drive, a filling station — our van gets there and asks for the liquid, the amount, plus whether the engine has been run. Answers shape the work; the price comes by phone whilst no one has left yet. Emptying your tank comes next, followed by a careful flush — more vital with urea than after petrol, since crystals and corrosion won't go on their own, however long you wait. Fresh diesel is put in after your filter is flushed or replaced, and the car is finally checked. Where the motor hasn't been started, allow about half an hour once we arrive, for most jobs. We fire it up last. Our engineers check it runs properly on clean diesel before we leave. If it is spotted soon, the vehicle very seldom has lasting damage, and the whole job takes place where it is. For your insurer: an engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment on the day, nothing upfront. Many insurance policies include misfuelling, so look at yours as we head over. ## About Wombwell Park and where it is Wombwell Park is a suburban area located on the coast of Kent, with an elevation of approximately 30 metres above sea level.
