## Diesel in the AdBlue tank Prudhoe — 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 Prudhoe
- 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 Prudhoe — what is different locally
Prudhoe covers a wide catchment in Northumberland, 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 Northumberland are scattered, and the nearest one to Prudhoe may not be the nearest one that can actually clear this particular fault. Light commercial density around Prudhoe 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 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 Northumberland sees sustained cold, the first thing to establish on a level warning in January is whether the fluid has simply not thawed yet.

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

## Common questions

### Do you cover the area around Prudhoe as well?
Yes. Cover runs across Northumberland on the same terms, from the same call-out fee, and the job is priced identically wherever in the county it is.

### Will I need recovery from Prudhoe?
Only if the SCR system needs component work that cannot be done where the vehicle is. That determination is made on the phone before anything is booked.

### 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.
