## Diesel in the AdBlue tank Horsham

## Diesel in the AdBlue tank Horsham — 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 | 01295 380724, 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 Horsham
- 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 01295 380724 and say how much diesel went in and whether the engine has run since.

## Diesel in the AdBlue tank in Horsham — what is different locally
Horsham covers a wide catchment in West Sussex, and a good share of calls come from the A-road network rather than from home addresses, which changes how quickly a van can be positioned safely.

Specialist SCR workshops in West Sussex are scattered, and the nearest one to Horsham may not be the nearest one that can actually clear this particular fault. Vans and pickups around Horsham carry larger AdBlue tanks, are refuelled by whoever is on shift, and lose a working day rather than an evening when they are off the road.

The price that matters is not the call-out, it is the day the vehicle is not earning — which is why the job is quoted in full before anyone travels. Because West Sussex sees sustained cold, the first thing to establish on a level warning in January is whether the fluid has simply not thawed yet.

Location changes the logistics of this job and nothing else about it — the severity is set by what went into which tank. 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

### Do you charge extra to come out to Horsham?
No. The From just £89 call-out fee is the same across West Sussex, and the job total is quoted on the phone before a technician travels rather than adjusted on arrival.

### Can this be finished at the roadside in Horsham?
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.

### Will the SCR catalyst need replacing?
Only if contaminated fluid has actually been dosed into the exhaust — which is why not starting the engine matters so much. If the system never ran, the catalyst is usually untouched.
