Put adblue in diesel tank by mistake: what to do

Water-based, sinks to the pickup, has to come out.

The four stages that decide the bill

Tank, lift pump, filter, high-pressure pump, injectors — in that order. A vehicle caught before the key turns has contamination in stage one only, and that is a straightforward extraction. Each further stage the fuel reaches is another part that may need replacing, which is why the first question on the phone is always whether the engine was started.

Step by step

  1. Freeze, then think The reflex is to start up and drive somewhere sensible. Resist it. Nothing about the situation gets worse while the engine stays off.
  2. Where you are is fine A forecourt bay, a kerb, a car park: all workable. Only move if staying put is genuinely dangerous.
  3. Hazards and a quick word Switch the hazards on and tell anyone who needs to know — cashier, passengers, the driver behind.
  4. Ring 01293 248666 with four facts Make, wrong fuel, rough quantity, started or not. Those four facts set the price you are quoted before dispatch.
  5. A technician arrives equipped Pump, sealed waste drum, fresh fuel and priming kit all come in the van. Nothing is towed.
  6. Drive off, document in hand About an hour for a typical job, then a waste transfer note for the old fuel, which is worth keeping.

What drivers tell other drivers

4.8 stars, 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. The advice drivers pass on is simple: do not start the engine, ring, and expect someone level-headed who knows exactly what to do.

The warning they pass on is that it is not cheap. Fair enough — the call-out runs £89 to £199, the drain £199 to £1,999, and both are stated before a van leaves, so nobody is surprised at the roadside.

Questions we get asked

How much does it cost in Maryport?

Call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999. The full price for your vehicle is confirmed on the phone before a technician sets off, so there is no surprise when we arrive.

What happens to the old fuel?

It leaves with us as controlled waste under a waste transfer note. It is not tipped, and it is not resold to you.

Do you cover all of CA15 and the Solway coast?

Yes, from one rota — so being at one edge of the area rather than the other changes the arrival window, not the price.

How long will I be waiting?

Arrival depends where you are across CA15 and the Solway coast and what is already running. You get a realistic window on the call rather than an optimistic one.
