Our technician will take care of the disposal of the fuel they drain from your car and will follow strict environment agency guidelines and conform to all health and safety legislation.
We recommend that you do not start your car if at all possible. Starting your engine will circulate the wrong fuel through the car system and this could increase the risk of real damage. If you have started your car, we can still help. Call one of our wrong Fuel Experts for free advice.
We drain fuel from your engine and can provide you with fuel to get you to the nearest garage.
Turn the car off immediately and we can still help. Don’t even put your key in the ignition – call us as soon as you can and one of our engineers will be with you within the hour. We will drain, flush and re-fill your vehicle with the correct fuel and get you back on the road. We’ll even dispose of the fuel for you in accordance with the legal guidelines too, so you have one less thing to worry about.
It all depends on the size of your tank and the vehicle that’s been misfuelled. Remember that even trace amounts of the wrong fuel in the wrong engine can do irreparable damage. You’re much better off not risking it.
You can, but let’s put it like this – which would you rather do, be an hour late for your appointment or buy a new engine? Just remain calm – if you drive away with the wrong fuel you can rack up a lot of damage which is costly to repair. Our record time arriving at a customer’s side is less than 30 minutes and it only takes about 20 minutes to flush and refuel the engine, getting you back on your way. You’re better off being an hour late than risking the alternative.
In short, no. Unfortunately, putting the wrong fuel in your engine isn’t normally counted as a breakdown, and there’s a good chance that you’re not covered. There’s no guarantee that your service provider won’t simply tow your car to the nearest garage and have them drain the tank at your expense. Here at Wrong Fuel Expert we’ll come straight to you and drain your engine on site, saving you time, money and a trip to the garage.
Again, no. Sadly this floating petrol theory is a myth. What actually happens is that the petrol and diesel mix as soon as they make contact, creating a volatile solution which can destroy your injectors and fuel pump, costing thousands of pounds in repair bills.
This depends on if you’ve put diesel in a petrol engine or petrol in a diesel engine, but either way you could be looking at thousands of pounds’ worth of damage if you don’t get your engine drained immediately. Under no circumstances should you start the car. Don’t even put your key in the ignition.
Not if you want your warranty to stay intact. Misfuelling will often void your warranty, meaning that you will have to pay for the entire fuel system to be replaced if you want your warranty to stay intact. Not only that, but manufacturers will simply tow your car to their workshop which is incredibly time-consuming.
Call Wrong Fuel Expert as soon as possible and one of our advisors will be able to help you figure it out.
If you’re not in a rush we can offer you a cheaper option than an emergency service. We can schedule you in for a set time during the day and give you a discounted price.
