Fuel replace: what to do

Mobile drain and flush, on site, usually inside the hour.

Why a full tank can be the cheap outcome

Sixty litres of the wrong fuel that never reached the engine is one of the simplest jobs there is: extract, flush the lines, refill, prime. A small splash driven for several miles can cost more, because it has had time to reach components that wear.

Step by step

  1. Do not start it — that is the whole thing Everything else on this list is detail. This one line is the difference between a call-out and a pump.
  2. Leave the vehicle where it stopped Pushing or coasting is still movement, and movement is how contaminated fuel finds the pickup.
  3. Sort out safety Hazards, and get people out of the vehicle if you are anywhere near moving traffic.
  4. Call 01293 248666 Answered around the clock. Tell us what went in and whether it ran; you get the full price before a technician sets off.
  5. The job itself Extract, flush, refill, prime, run up, check. Roughly an hour on a standard vehicle.
  6. Old fuel away, invoice done Controlled waste, transfer note, registered carrier. Keep the note — it is what protects you.

Ratings, praise and the one recurring grumble

4.8 out of 5, drawn from 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. Praise centres on dependable timing and technicians who keep things friendly when a driver is stressed.

The grumble is cost. Rather than soften it: £89 to £199 covers the call-out, £199 to £1,999 covers the drain, and quoting happens over the phone, before travel, every time.

Questions we get asked

Is there an out-of-hours surcharge?

The call-out is the call-out. Whatever the total is, you hear it on the phone before anyone travels.

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.

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.

What about a van or a hire car?

Same job. With a hire car, ring the hire company too — some policies cover a misfuel drain and it is worth knowing before you pay.
