AdBlue in the wrong filler in Bournville Birmingham — what is different locally
Kerbside space in Bournville Birmingham is tight, so the van is positioned to work from one side and the drained fluid is bagged and removed rather than decanted at the roadside.
Independent SCR specialists as well as franchised dealers operate near Bournville Birmingham, which matters because not every inducement requires main-dealer tooling to clear. Small tanks dominate here, and a small tank means a contaminant reaches a damaging concentration far faster than it would in a commercial vehicle.
