## I put gas in my diesel truck: what to do
Bigger tanks, more urgency, same roadside fix.

## What actually happens inside the fuel system
Fuel leaves the tank through the lift pump, passes the filter, reaches the high-pressure pump and then the injectors. Petrol in a diesel system strips the lubrication that high-pressure pump depends on, and metal shed by the pump travels downstream into the injectors. That sequence is the whole story: cost depends on whether the engine ran, and for how long, not on how many litres went in.

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

## Questions we get asked

**Is this a garage?**
No. Wrong Fuel Sunderland is mobile. A technician travels to the vehicle wherever it is standing.

**Will it have done damage?**
If the engine was never started, damage is unlikely. If it ran, the risk rises with the distance driven — which is exactly why we ask.

**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.

**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.
