## Diesel in the AdBlue tank Bonnyrigg — the severity verdict

**Key facts**
 | Severity | Component risk Frequently needs SCR component work rather than a drain. Quoted before a technician travels.
 | What went where | Diesel in the AdBlue tank
 | Direction | Into the AdBlue tank
 | Typical cost | £260–£750 typical total, from a £89 call-out
 | Time on site | About 90 minutes
 | Call-out | From just £89 call-out fee
 | Helpline | 01293 248666, 24 hours
£89 is the call-out. An AdBlue tank drain and flush is quoted on the phone before a technician travels. If the SCR system needs component replacement — dosing injector, pump, tank or catalyst — that is separate, and you will be told before any work starts. If this is a job we cannot fix at the roadside, we will tell you that on the phone rather than after we arrive.

## What to do right now in Bonnyrigg
- Do not start the engine. The dosing pump runs on many vehicles as soon as the system is awake.
- If it is already running, switch it off now rather than driving to a garage.
- Do not top it up with AdBlue to dilute it. Dilution does not undo hydrocarbon contamination of the pump and lines.
- Call 01293 248666 and say how much diesel went in and whether the engine has run since.

## Diesel in the AdBlue tank in Bonnyrigg — what is different locally
Rural approaches around Bonnyrigg mean a stranded vehicle can be some way from the nearest garage, which is precisely why diagnosing the fault before moving it is worth the twenty minutes it takes.

The nearest franchised dealer able to run a manufacturer forced reset can be a significant distance from Bonnyrigg, which is exactly why a latched inducement is worth diagnosing on site before the vehicle is moved anywhere. HGV traffic through Bonnyrigg changes the arithmetic — tank volumes an order of magnitude larger, disposal costs to match, and a loaded trailer that cannot simply be left.

The cost split is simple and it is stated up front: the call-out, the drain and flush, and separately anything the SCR system itself needs. Cold mornings in Lothian produce a run of calls that turn out to be nothing more than fluid below −11 °C in a tank that has not yet warmed, and telling that apart from a real fault saves a wasted visit.

The geography affects arrival time and disposal, not the outcome; that is decided by the contamination direction and whether the engine was run. Frequently needs SCR component work rather than a drain. Quoted before a technician travels. Coverage runs across Lothian on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off.

## Common questions

### Can this be finished at the roadside in Bonnyrigg?
Frequently needs SCR component work rather than a drain. Quoted before a technician travels. If it cannot, you are told on the call rather than after somebody has attended.

### What if my vehicle is already at a garage in Bonnyrigg?
That is fine. The work is mobile, so it happens wherever the vehicle is standing — a forecourt, a yard, a driveway or somebody else's workshop.

### Can I dilute it with more AdBlue?
No. Diesel does not dissolve in AdBlue and it does not stop coating the pump internals and the injector because there is more fluid around it. Topping up adds cost to the drain.
