## Petrol in the AdBlue tank Melksham — 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 | Petrol in the AdBlue tank
 | Direction | Into the AdBlue tank
 | Typical cost | £280–£850 typical total, from a £89 call-out
 | Time on site | About 100 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 Melksham
- Do not start the engine and do not cycle the ignition repeatedly.
- Ventilate — petrol vapour in a vented AdBlue tank is a real consideration, especially in a garage.
- Do not add AdBlue on top.
- Call 01293 248666.

## Petrol in the AdBlue tank in Melksham — what is different locally
Because the catchment around Melksham 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.

Distance to a marque dealer from Melksham is the single biggest variable in what this ends up costing, and it is worth settling before anything is towed. A mixed fleet around Melksham means a mixed set of failures: nozzle errors on the commercial side, bottle errors on the domestic side, and quality faults from bulk tanks on both.

Downtime cost is usually what decides between a mobile fix and a recovery, and it is worth being blunt about it on the call rather than after the van arrives. Winter around Melksham brings the freezing question up constantly: the fluid freezes near −11 °C, the system is designed for it, and the dashboard message is the only thing that needs interpreting.

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

## Common questions

### Can this be finished at the roadside in Melksham?
Frequently needs SCR component work rather than a drain. Quoted before a technician travels. If it cannot, you are told on the call rather than after somebody has attended.

### Will I need recovery from Melksham?
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.

### The engine started and ran normally. Is it fine?
Running normally is expected — the SCR circuit is in the exhaust, not the engine, so the engine will not feel it. The damage happens quietly and shows up later as a dosing fault or a failed NOx conversion.
