Fuel tank flush near me: what to do

Extract, flush, refill, prime.

Three questions that tell us most of the story

Did the engine start? How far did it run? Which fuel went in? The first two describe how far contamination has travelled along tank, lift pump, filter, high-pressure pump and injectors. The third describes how it behaves along the way: petrol thins the lubrication a diesel pump needs, while diesel in a petrol engine fouls plugs and injectors instead.

Step by step

  1. The single rule Leave the engine off. Everything else on this list is secondary to that one instruction.
  2. Do not reposition the car Pushing it into a bay feels considerate but it disturbs the fuel. Stay put unless you are in danger.
  3. If it is dangerous, get out On a verge or live road, everybody out on the side away from traffic and behind the barrier. Then call.
  4. Call 01293 248666, day or night Answered around the clock. Describe the vehicle and what happened; the full price is confirmed on that call.
  5. The fix, where you stand Drain, flush, refill, prime and run-up, carried out at the roadside or on the forecourt.
  6. Finished properly The waste is taken away by a registered carrier with the transfer note, and you get an invoice.

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 this a garage?

No. Wrong Fuel Sunderland is mobile. A technician travels to the vehicle wherever it is standing.

How long will I be waiting?

Arrival depends where you are across SR1 to SR6, DH4 and DH5 and what is already running. You get a realistic window on the call rather than an optimistic one.

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.

Can you come to a supermarket forecourt?

Yes, and it is where a good proportion of jobs happen. Tell the cashier a drainer is on the way; they are used to it.
