## Diesel in the AdBlue tank Streatham London — 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 Streatham London
- 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 Streatham London — what is different locally
Kerbside space in Streatham London is tight, so the van is positioned to work from one side and the drained fluid is bagged and removed rather than decanted at the roadside.

Streatham London has main-dealer coverage close by, so the honest answer on some jobs is that the roadside work is the drain and the reset belongs elsewhere. Because the local fleet is light, the volumes involved are small — and small volumes are recoverable if the engine has not been started.

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. AdBlue freezes at around −11 °C, and London 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.

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

## Common questions

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

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

### 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.
