## Overfilled AdBlue tank Burntisland — the severity verdict

**Key facts**
 | Severity | Recoverable Normally put right by a drain and flush, provided the engine has not been run.
 | What went where | Overfilled AdBlue tank
 | Direction | Into the AdBlue tank
 | Typical cost | £89–£220 typical total, from a £89 call-out

£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 Burntisland
- Rinse any spill off the paint, the filler recess and anything underneath with plenty of water, before it dries and crystallises.
- Do not siphon it with fuel equipment.
- If the gauge is reading implausibly, call 01293 248666.

## Overfilled AdBlue tank in Burntisland — what is different locally
Because the catchment around Burntisland is spread out, the technician is routed on the nearest-available basis rather than from a depot, and you are given a realistic arrival window rather than an optimistic one.

Specialist SCR workshops in Tayside and Fife are scattered, and the nearest one to Burntisland may not be the nearest one that can actually clear this particular fault. Light commercial density around Burntisland 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. AdBlue freezes at around −11 °C, and Tayside and Fife 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. Normally put right by a drain and flush, provided the engine has not been run. Coverage runs across Tayside and Fife on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off.

### Do you charge extra to come out to Burntisland?
