## Diesel in the AdBlue tank Crawley — 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 | Call-out £89 to £199 · drain £199 to £1,999
 | Time on site | About 90 minutes
 | Call-out | Call-out from £89
 | Helpline | 01293 248666, 24 hours
The call-out is £89 to £199. 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 Crawley
- 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 Crawley — what is different locally
In and around Crawley the job is usually done at the filling station where the mistake happened, in a bay away from the pumps, with the fluid drained into sealed containers and taken away.

From Crawley the main-dealer options are limited by marque rather than by distance, so it is worth establishing on the call whether a reset is even needed. Light commercial density around Crawley means a fair share of calls are fleet vehicles where the driver and the owner are different people, and the decision has to be made by someone not standing at the vehicle.

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 West Sussex 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 West Sussex on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off.

## Common questions

### What if my vehicle is already at a garage in Crawley?
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.

### What if my vehicle is already at a garage in Crawley?
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.

### Is this just a drain like AdBlue in the diesel tank?
No, and anyone who tells you it is has not looked at the system. That direction is a fuel-side drain. This one is hydrocarbon contamination of a precision dosing circuit, and it frequently needs component work.
