## What AdBlue does in the fuel system

AdBlue is a solution of urea and water meant for the exhaust. In the fuel tank it does not mix with diesel but sinks to the bottom – right where the pump draws fuel. When the water evaporates, hard crystals block filters and injectors.

## If it has just happened: three steps

- 
### Keep the engine off

Do not start the engine or switch on the ignition – not even to move away from the pump.
- 
### Keep the driver door shut if you can

On some cars the fuel pump starts when the driver door opens. Get in from the passenger side if you need to.
- 
### Stay safe and call

Hazard lights on. At a station tell the staff; on the road wear a hi-vis vest and wait behind the barrier. Then call [+49 761 59415165](tel:+4976159415165).

## What happens next

- 
### Only in the tank

AdBlue sits at the bottom. We drain and flush the tank.
- 
### Ignition on or engine ran briefly

AdBlue is in lines and filter. We flush the system and change the filter.
- 
### Engine ran for long

Crystals and corrosion can damage pump and injectors; a workshop is then needed.

## How the job works

- 
### Call and price

Call [+49 761 59415165](tel:+4976159415165). We ask about vehicle, fuel, amount and location and give you the price.
- 
### Engineer on the way

A technician drives to you in a fully equipped service van.
- 
### Drain and flush

The wrong fuel is pumped out, lines and filter are flushed and fresh fuel goes in.
- 
### Restart and invoice

The engine is restarted and checked. You get a VAT invoice; the drained fuel is taken away for disposal.

## Common questions: AdBlue in the diesel tank in Bochum

**What if it was only a small amount?**

Even a small amount sinks to the bottom and is drawn in first. Do not start the engine; have the tank drained.

**I already started the engine. What now?**

Switch off at once and do not restart. Lines and filter then need flushing as well.

**Does insurance pay?**

Usually not: in Germany partial cover (Teilkasko) excludes misfuelling, and many comprehensive policies do too. Check your terms.

**Which language is the phone line?**

The phone line is run in German. Have your vehicle, fuel type and location ready – short answers are enough.
