Adblue in diesel
Adblue in diesel? AdBlue is water-based and sinks in a diesel tank. Do not start the engine — it has to be drained out. Call 01293 248666 — a mobile technician comes to the vehicle anywhere across TS1 and TS3 to TS8. Call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999.
No premises, no recovery truck
The alternative to what we do is a recovery truck, a garage queue and a courtesy car you did not want. Wrong Fuel Middlesbrough sends a technician to TS1 and TS3 to TS8 instead, and the job is normally finished where you are standing. Call 01293 248666. There is no Middlesbrough branch to drive to, which is rather the point.

Adblue in diesel: what to do
Water-based, sinks to the pickup, has to come out.
Three questions that tell us most of the story
Did the engine start? How far did it run? Which fuel went in? The first two describe how far contamination has travelled along tank, lift pump, filter, high-pressure pump and injectors. The third describes how it behaves along the way: petrol thins the lubrication a diesel pump needs, while diesel in a petrol engine fouls plugs and injectors instead.
Step by step
- Leave the key alone This is the one that decides the price. Wrong fuel sitting in a tank is a drain; wrong fuel that has been through the engine is a different job.
- Do not push or coast it Moving the vehicle can slosh contaminated fuel toward the pickup. Leave it where it is unless staying there is unsafe.
- Make yourself safe Hazards on. On a forecourt, tell the cashier — they will almost always let you stay put once they know a drainer is coming.
- Call 01293 248666 Tell us the vehicle, which fuel went in, roughly how much, and whether the engine ran. You get a full price before anyone sets off.
- We drain, flush and prime Tank emptied, lines flushed, fresh fuel in, system bled and run up before we go.
- You drive away Most jobs finish on site in about an hour. The old fuel leaves with us under a waste transfer note.

Questions we get asked
What if I have already driven it?
Still call. Most vehicles driven a short distance are recoverable. Tell us how far you got, because it changes the kit we bring.
Do you cover all of TS1 and TS3 to TS8?
Yes, from one rota — so being at one edge of the area rather than the other changes the arrival window, not the price.
What if it is not safe to drain where I am?
Then we tell you that on the phone rather than after arriving. Being told honestly costs nothing; being told on arrival costs a call-out.
Do I need to stay with the vehicle?
Usually yes, so we can hand it back to you running. If you cannot stay, say so on the call and we will work out how to do it.
