## Diesel in the AdBlue tank Shepton Mallet — 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 Shepton Mallet
- 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 Shepton Mallet — what is different locally
Rural approaches around Shepton Mallet mean a stranded vehicle can be some way from the nearest garage, which is precisely why diagnosing the fault before moving it is worth the twenty minutes it takes.

Getting to a dealer from Shepton Mallet 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. Light commercial density around Shepton Mallet 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 Somerset 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 Somerset on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off.
