You will be given an honest arrival window on the call rather than a flattering one. In a village, the nearest forecourt is usually a few miles off, which means the mistake was almost always made somewhere else and discovered on the way home. If the engine has cut out, leave it; if it has not, stop somewhere safe and switch it off. ## Why we ask about the engine before anything else It is not small talk. Whether the engine ran tells us which parts the wrong fuel has touched, and therefore what the technician needs to bring and what the job is likely to involve. A vehicle that never started needs a drain. One that ran needs a drain and a careful look further along the fuel path. ## Step by step First: nothing Do not turn the key, do not turn the ignition to accessory, do not try the radio. The engine has not run on the wrong fuel yet and that is worth protecting. - Second: stay where you are Unless you are somewhere dangerous. A vehicle that has not moved is a vehicle whose contamination is still all in one place. - Third: make the call 01293 248666. Four questions — vehicle, which fuel, roughly how much, did it run — and you get a price and a window before anyone sets off. - Then we work where the car is Extraction, line flush, fresh fuel, prime, run-up and a check. Nothing needs recovering anywhere. - And the waste goes properly Registered carrier, waste transfer note, correct consignment. Keep the note; it is the document that protects you, not us. ## Places near Ayres Quay - Houghton-le-Spring - Barnes - Deptford - South Hylton - Pennywell - Pallion - Millfield - Ford Estate ## What we do in Ayres Quay - Petrol in diesel near Ayres Quay - Wrong fuel near Ayres Quay - Diesel in petrol near Ayres Quay - Fuel doctor near Ayres Quay - AdBlue in diesel near Ayres Quay - Small amount of petrol near Ayres Quay - Unleaded in diesel near Ayres Quay - Misfuel near Ayres Quay - Fuel drain near Ayres Quay - Mobile fuel drain near Ayres Quay - Wrong fuel rescue near Ayres Quay - 24 hour fuel drain near Ayres Quay ## Read the reviews before you ring There are 2,190 of them on Trustpilot, averaging 4.8 out of 5.
