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 Ilminster - 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 Ilminster — what is different locally Vehicles in Ilminster are often found on the hard standing of a yard or a forecourt, and an on-site drain avoids a recovery movement that would otherwise cost more than the repair. Distance to a marque dealer from Ilminster is the single biggest variable in what this ends up costing, and it is worth settling before anything is towed. HGV traffic through Ilminster changes the arithmetic — tank volumes an order of magnitude larger, disposal costs to match, and a loaded trailer that cannot simply be left. A drain done on the day is usually cheaper than a recovery plus a workshop slot plus the wait, but that is only true where the contamination direction allows it. Winter around Ilminster brings the freezing question up constantly: the fluid freezes near −11 °C, the system is designed for it, and the dashboard message is the only thing that needs interpreting. None of the local detail changes the verdict: the direction of contamination decides what is recoverable, and the postcode does not. Frequently needs SCR component work rather than a drain. Quoted before a technician travels. Coverage runs across Somerset on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off. **Local detail for Ilminster** | Place | Ilminster — town | County | Somerset | Nearest cover | Keynsham, Midsomer Norton, Minehead | This problem | Diesel in the AdBlue tank — Component risk | Verdict here | Frequently needs SCR component work rather than a drain.

The work is mobile, so it happens wherever the vehicle is standing — a forecourt, a yard, a driveway or somebody else's workshop. ### Can this be finished at the roadside in Ilminster? 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. ### 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. ## What customers say in Ilminster 4.8 out of 5 from 2,190 Trustpilot reviews.
