Diesel in petrol
Drained, flushed and refilled with the right fuel so you can drive away.
AdBlue mix-ups
AdBlue in the fuel tank, or fuel in the AdBlue tank. Both need sorting fast, and we come to you.
Fuel line flush
Clears contaminated fuel out of the lines, not just the tank, so what's left gets diluted safely.
Recovery
Vehicle won't restart? Recovery to a garage or home can be arranged, priced and agreed with you first.
Then we clean the lines.
If the engine ran, the wrong fuel isn't just in the tank. It's in the fuel lines, the filter and the injector rail too.

Top questions
I've just put the wrong fuel in. What do I do?
Don't start the engine, and don't switch the ignition on. If it's safe, put the vehicle in neutral and push it away from the pump. Then call or WhatsApp us on 07464 344885 with where you are, your reg and roughly how much went in. Full step-by-step guide.
I already started the engine or drove off. What now?
Pull over as soon as it's safe, switch off and don't try to restart. We can still drain the tank and flush the lines. Tell us when you call how far you drove, because the fuel will have reached more of the system. We can't promise to undo damage done before we arrive, but stopping as soon as you notice is the best thing you can do.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the vehicle, where you are and what went in. We tell you the price on the phone before we set off, and send it in writing by WhatsApp if you'd like, so there are no surprises.
Do you need to tow my vehicle away?
Usually not. Most wrong-fuel jobs are fixed where the vehicle is. If it won't restart afterwards, we can arrange recovery to a garage or your home, priced and agreed with you first.
Will my insurance cover it?
Some motor and breakdown policies include misfuelling cover and some don't. Check your policy documents or ring your insurer. We'll give you a receipt with everything on it to help with any claim.
What should I do after you've drained it?
Fill the tank to at least three-quarters with the right fuel so any small amount left is diluted, and have the fuel filter replaced at a garage as soon as you can, because contaminated fuel can damage filters.
No questions match that. Just call us on 07464 344885.
