Right now, do these three things
1Switch the engine offStill driving? Pull over as soon as it is safe, then switch off. Every mile pushes the wrong fuel deeper into the system.
2Get out of your carHazard lights on, stand well back from the traffic. On a forecourt, tell the staff and do not restart to move off the pump.

Thirty seconds, in 3D, from the nozzle going in to metal filings travelling through the injectors. Worth watching before you decide it can wait.

Why the trade calls us
Wrong fuel is the entire business, and has been since 2009. When a misfuel lands on a garage ramp, the garage calls a specialist, and the specialist is us.
- Petrol in diesel, diesel in petrol, unleaded in diesel and contaminated fuel, drained at the roadside, on a forecourt, at home or in a yard.
- No amount is safe to drive on. Petrol strips the lubrication a diesel pump depends on even at a few percent. Diluting it removes nothing.
- No tow, no garage bill. About thirty minutes on site, then you drive away on clean fuel. VAT invoice and engine report included.
- 250,000+ rescues, rated 4.8 on Google and Reviews.io. ISO 9001 & 14001 certified, Environment Agency accredited.
The questions everyone asks
I have put petrol in my diesel car. What now?
Do not start it. If you are already driving, pull over and switch off as soon as it is safe. Then call 0333 366 1243. The consultation is free, and an engineer reaches you in about 46 minutes and drains it on the spot.
Does it matter how much went in?
No amount of wrong fuel is safe to drive on. Petrol strips lubrication in a diesel at a few percent, so a splash is still contamination and diluting it removes nothing. Whatever went in, 5 litres, 20 litres or a full tank, do not start the engine.
I put unleaded in my diesel. Same thing?
Yes. Unleaded and petrol are the same fuel, so it is a petrol-in-diesel misfuel and the advice is identical. It is the most common call we take, because a diesel filler neck accepts an unleaded nozzle easily.
How much does it cost to fix?
A roadside drain is one price, quoted before we set off, and a fraction of what a main dealer charges to strip and replace fuel-system parts. It depends on where you are, what you drive and how much needs removing. Ring and we will tell you plainly, and that part is free.
Where do you cover?
The whole UK. Mobile units across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, including fuel drains in Glasgow, Bristol, Exeter, London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh, Belfast and Cardiff, with an average arrival of about 46 minutes.
Everything else, we will tell you on the phone.
That is what the free consultation is for. No forms, no waiting, no obligation.
