How to dispose of diesel fuel: what to do
Mobile drain and flush, on site, usually inside the hour.
The four stages that decide the bill
Tank, lift pump, filter, high-pressure pump, injectors — in that order. A vehicle caught before the key turns has contamination in stage one only, and that is a straightforward extraction. Each further stage the fuel reaches is another part that may need replacing, which is why the first question on the phone is always whether the engine was started.
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.

Rated 4.8 out of 5
From 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. Reviewers consistently pick out arrival times and the fact that technicians talk them through what happened rather than just taking the keys.
Where reviews are critical, it is almost always about price. Rather than ignore that: the call-out is £89 to £199 and the drain £199 to £1,999, quoted in full on the phone before travel, and we would rather lose the job on the call than argue about it on the forecourt.
Questions we get asked
Is this a garage?
No. Wrong Fuel Sunderland is mobile. A technician travels to the vehicle wherever it is standing.
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.
Do you cover all of SR1 to SR6, DH4 and DH5?
Yes, from one rota — so being at one edge of the area rather than the other changes the arrival window, not the price.
What if it is not safe to drain where I am?
Then we tell you that on the phone rather than after arriving. Being told honestly costs nothing; being told on arrival costs a call-out.
