Petrol in diesel car damage: what to do

How the damage escalates, stage by stage.

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

  1. Leave the key alone This is the one that decides the price. Wrong fuel sitting in a tank is a drain; wrong fuel that has been through the engine is a different job.
  2. Do not push or coast it Moving the vehicle can slosh contaminated fuel toward the pickup. Leave it where it is unless staying there is unsafe.
  3. Make yourself safe Hazards on. On a forecourt, tell the cashier — they will almost always let you stay put once they know a drainer is coming.
  4. Call 01293 248666 Tell us the vehicle, which fuel went in, roughly how much, and whether the engine ran. You get a full price before anyone sets off.
  5. We drain, flush and prime Tank emptied, lines flushed, fresh fuel in, system bled and run up before we go.
  6. You drive away Most jobs finish on site in about an hour. The old fuel leaves with us under a waste transfer note.

Read the reviews before you ring

There are 2,190 of them on Trustpilot, averaging 4.8 out of 5. Look for the words that keep recurring: prompt, reassuring, explained everything.

Look for the criticism too. It centres on what the job costs, which is why the ranges are printed here — £89 to £199 to come out, £199 to £1,999 to drain — and the exact sum is settled on the call.

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 you work at night?

Yes, around the clock, every day. A large share of misfuels happen after dark, so the rota reflects that.

What happens to the old fuel?

It leaves with us as controlled waste under a waste transfer note. It is not tipped, and it is not resold to you.

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.
