# Worth Village: How Does AdBlue End Up in a Diesel Tank, and How Do You Avoid It?

AdBlue already in your diesel tank? In that case set this page down for now, keep your ignition and motor off, then call 0333 366 0103.

Around Worth Village, finding it before your engine turns normally leaves a drain and a full flush on the spot.

The remainder of this page explains why it happens and how to make sure it does not — useful if you are reading ahead of time.

## AdBlue in a diesel vehicle, and its separate tank

Not one liquid but two: that's how many modern diesels near Worth Village and Park Wood Bottom run, with diesel for your engine.

Its own tank keeps it, and from there it goes to your exhaust, where spraying treats the fumes.

There's a filler for each tank.

Many of cars share a single flap for the two, whereas others put the AdBlue filler to the boot or under the bonnet.

The diesel side is topped up at the pump all the time.

The AdBlue side is topped up far less frequently, usually from a bottle, and normally by someone who has to stop and think where it goes.

That gap is where the error lives.

## Worth Village: how AdBlue in the diesel tank happens

Three things tend to come together, and carelessness is seldom one of them.

The warning comes first. As AdBlue runs low the car tells you, and if it runs out altogether, your vehicle drops into limp mode. So the top-up is done in a hurry: on a driveway off Fruit Street before work, or in the car park outside Shoulder of Mutton on the way home.

The old car's cap is where the hand reaches — but a hire car, a new motor or a company car keeps the fillers somewhere else. That's a second thing: a strange motor.

A spout-topped bottle meets no obstacle at a diesel filler no more than at an AdBlue one. So the pour, after begun, carries on.

Strong Close or the heart of Worth Village: it takes the same few seconds either way.

## Telling the AdBlue filler from your diesel filler

Check these before pouring, on a forecourt around Worth Village or a drive out in Aireworth. A few seconds, that's all.

- Colour and marking: an AdBlue cap is often blue, or says "AdBlue", where a diesel cap normally does not. Go by the cap, not where it sits.

- Many motors give AdBlue the smaller filler of the two.

- The flap. Look inside your fuel flap for a label. Plenty of motors say there which fuel goes where.

- The handbook. If your filler is not by the diesel cap, it is in the boot or under the bonnet, and the handbook says which.

- The person who drove the car last. On a hire or company car collected from somewhere like the car park outside Keighley, ask before you leave, not when the light comes on.

## Keeping AdBlue out of your diesel tank when you top up

The day the light comes on, anywhere across West Yorkshire, follow this routine.

- Stop somewhere level, engine off, with time in hand — not rushing on the side of Middleway.

- Daft as it sounds, speaking "AdBlue" aloud while you unscrew the cap does the trick — after you have found your filler and read it.

- If both sit under one flap, check your diesel cap is still closed before you lift the bottle — and leave the vehicle on.

- Using the bottle's own spout, tip slowly — and stop when it is full or the bottle is empty.

- Before starting your car, close the cap and look again that the diesel cap never opened off.

Discover during the second or third stage that the bottle went in the wrong tank? That is where you stop.

Leave out step five entirely.

## Put AdBlue in the diesel tank around Worth Village already?

Brief order, then. Top of it: your motor stays off.

On plenty of diesels your ignition alone runs the fuel pump, and so do not switch it on.

Thinning it with extra diesel won't work, since AdBlue settles to the base rather than mixing — and that's where your fuel is drawn from.

On a forecourt — Asda, Sainsbury's or any other — the attendants will normally help push the car clear, if you ask.

Your own drive in Worth Village is where it stays.

Stop as soon as it is safe then switch off, if the engine has already run.

Worth Village lies under 10 miles from the M606; there, use the next exit.

Tell us about how far it went: a run towards Bradford, under 10 miles away, is a bigger job than a short hop across Worth Village.

## Our arrival around Worth Village, and what happens next

We come to the vehicle wherever it has stopped, whether that is outside Eastwood Community School, close to Keighley Bus Museum or on your own drive.

What fluid was put in, the quantity, and if it ran: our engineers ask because the replies set both work and price.

During the call itself, you are told the price — ahead of anything else.

Emptying the tank comes next, then a full flush of the fuel system.

AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, and so it does not wash out on its own — which is why the flush matters more with AdBlue than with petrol.

After the fuel filter is cleaned — or replaced, where required — fresh diesel is added, and finally the car gets tested.

Before we go, we start it and confirm that it is running correctly.

Most jobs are done in roughly half an hour once our technicians arrive, as long as the engine hasn't run — and the pumps our engineers use are safe on a live forecourt and quiet after dark beside a house.

Payment is on the day, not upfront, and you receive the paperwork an insurer wants: an engineer's report and a VAT invoice.

It's worth checking your policy as the van travels to you: misfuelling cover is included with plenty of policies.
