Ynys-isaf: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation
All of it hinges on one detail: whether your motor has started since the AdBlue was added — more than anything else. If it hasn't, keep it that way, whether the car is in Ynys-isaf itself or out in Cwmgiedd. Normally this is draining and thoroughly purging it on the spot around Ynys-isaf — and so leave your key and engine off then phone 0333 366 0103. Where your motor has been run, stop safely first, then switch the car off. The job is bigger, but the first stage is the same.
Match what happened to one of the list below, wherever across Powys you are.
On a Ynys-isaf forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel
Only now, bottle still in hand, you realise that the cap you opened was the wrong one, right at the pump. Whether Murco, Tesco or somewhere else around Ynys-isaf, the case is the same.
The point: of every spot to notice, this is the best. Nothing has drawn it through, so the AdBlue sits only in your tank.
Clearing the pump is no excuse to start it — and so don't get back in. Get the staff to lend a hand pushing it into a bay, save the receipt, then phone us from there. If it can't be moved, it can be emptied at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a working forecourt.
Ynys-isaf, at home: AdBlue in the diesel tank
The warning light had been on for days. A bottle from the garage, emptied in on the driveway — and it's only by the bin that the cap caught your eye. Drives close to Cwm Tawe Road see it as much as anywhere.
Put simply: if your car has not moved since, it is nearly as good as spotting it at the forecourt. AdBlue doesn't mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of your tank and waits there. Overnight doesn't change that.
Your move: keys in the house, and so no one drives the vehicle off first thing. Then, phone. We drain the car on your driveway, whether that is around Ynys-isaf or out in Ynys-uchaf. Even at night, our pumps stay quiet enough for a driveway.
Ynys-isaf: drove off with AdBlue in a diesel?
A short way beyond filling up, the engine began misbehaving: roughness, smoke, less power, warnings on your dash. Anywhere on Long Street or else heading towards Swansea — under 15 miles away.
Meaning? Your pump has sucked the AdBlue in. The high-pressure pump and every injector see it too on a longer trip, once the filter and lines have it. Each restart, like every mile, carries it deeper.
Next: find a sensible spot, pull in, then switch your engine off. Exit at the next junction — not the services beyond — if you're on the M4, under 15 miles from Ynys-isaf. It will not have cleared, so there's no point restarting to find out. Call, and say how far the vehicle was driven.
A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank?
It's a car you have had for a week. Your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or puts it somewhere different, so nothing told you the AdBlue inlet was just next to your diesel. Wherever you are around Powys, every motorist can slip up.
The upshot: just as above, divided by whether it ran, but with one added step. Many rental and fleet agreements need the owner's sign-off before repairs.
What to do: ring the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That is quicker settled before we get there than after. Leave it switched off while the reply comes, even if you're waiting at Neath or near Ystradgynlais Community Centre.
Not sure it was AdBlue in your diesel tank, Ynys-isaf?
"I think so" is sometimes as honest as it gets. Too light, that bottle; a trace of ammonia near your filler; a hazy memory of which cap. Look familiar? Maybe on a friend's drive in Caer-Lan, or rushing outside the local primary school on the school run.
In short: spillage near the filler leaves your motor unharmed. The diesel tank with AdBlue inside is another matter. Any AdBlue in the tank will be drawn in by starting your car, and the start wouldn't settle which it is in any case.
What to do: treat it as if it got in. Don't start the car. Ring with what you saw: we would rather confirm a clean tank than drain one after the engine has run.
Ynys-isaf: what every AdBlue drain has in common
The work begins identically, whatever your case. We come to the car, whether it's at a forecourt, a drive, the car park outside Penrhos Social Club or a side street near Yoruth Chapel, and ask three things: what went in, about how much, and if your engine has been run. Those replies determine the work, and you get our price by phone, before anybody sets off.
AdBlue crystallises and eats at some metals used in fuel systems, and so it won't wash out unaided; that is why the flush, after this drain, matters far more with AdBlue than with petrol. Then is your filter — cleaned, or replaced when needed — then fresh diesel, and a test of the vehicle. Not started? Then roughly half an hour once we are there is most jobs.
Our engineers start the engine at the end. Our engineers confirm it runs correctly on new diesel before leaving. Our engineers do the entire job where your car is, and lasting damage is very rare if it has been noticed early. Paying comes on the day, never upfront. For the insurer, there is a VAT invoice plus a report from the engineer. It is worth remembering: lots of insurers offer misfuelling cover, so a check of your documents while you wait is worthwhile.
