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 Poynton — what is different locally In and around Poynton 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. Getting to a dealer from Poynton usually means a recovery movement, so the sequence matters: drain and flush first, establish whether the system has latched, and only then decide whether a dealer visit is unavoidable. HGV traffic through Poynton changes the arithmetic — tank volumes an order of magnitude larger, disposal costs to match, and a loaded trailer that cannot simply be left. 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. AdBlue freezes at around −11 °C, and Cheshire gets there most winters. Frozen fluid is not spoiled fluid — the tank and lines are heated by design and it thaws on its own — but a genuine level or quality fault reads much the same on the dash, which is why the two get confused. Whether this job is a roadside one depends on the direction of contamination rather than on the postcode. Frequently needs SCR component work rather than a drain. Quoted before a technician travels. Coverage runs across Cheshire on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off. **Local detail for Poynton** | Place | Poynton — town | County | Cheshire | Nearest cover | Runcorn, Sandbach, Tarporley | This problem | Diesel in the AdBlue tank — Component risk | Verdict here | Frequently needs SCR component work rather than a drain.
