Do not start the engine; we drain it on site. Call 01293 248666 — a mobile technician comes to the vehicle anywhere across SR1 to SR6, DH4 and DH5. Call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999. ## What "local" actually means here It means the number is answered by the people who send technicians to Sunderland, and that coverage of SR1 to SR6, DH4 and DH5 is a dispatch area rather than a marketing claim. It does not mean a building — Wrong Fuel Sunderland has no premises and never has. Call 01293 248666 and the equipment comes to you. **Search**: unleaded fuel into diesel engine **What it is**: Unleaded in diesel **Where we cover**: SR1 to SR6, DH4 and DH5 **Cost**: Call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999, quoted in full before we travel **Time on site**: About an hour **Hours**: 24 hours, every day **Phone**: 01293 248666 ## Unleaded fuel into diesel engine: what to do The same failure, under the wording on the pump. ## Before and after the key turns Before: contamination confined to the tank, a single straightforward extraction. After: the lift pump has pulled it through, the filter has absorbed some, the high-pressure pump is running on the wrong lubricant and the injectors are next. Same mistake, two very different jobs, separated by one turn of a key. ## Step by step Ignition off and stay off No starting, no accessory position, no quick test. Contamination still sitting in the tank is the best case, and it lasts exactly until the engine turns over. - Keep the vehicle still Even rolling it a few metres can move fuel toward the pickup. If the spot is safe, the spot is right. - Look after people first Hazard lights on. Passengers out and clear if there is passing traffic. On a forecourt, let the staff know what has happened. - Phone 01293 248666 Give the vehicle, the fuel that went in, an estimate of the amount, and whether it ran. The price comes back on the same call. - Extraction on the spot The tank is drained, the lines flushed, clean fuel added and the system primed — anywhere across SR1 to SR6, DH4 and DH5. - Paperwork and the waste An invoice for you; the contaminated fuel leaves with us as controlled waste under a transfer note. ## The full page for this - Unleaded in diesel in Sunderland ## Related searches - Unleaded in diesel car - Unleaded in a diesel car - Unleaded in diesel - What happens if you put unleaded in a diesel car - Put unleaded in diesel car - Unleaded petrol in diesel car - Unleaded in diesel engine - Putting unleaded in a diesel car ## What drivers tell other drivers 4.8 stars, 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. The advice drivers pass on is simple: do not start the engine, ring, and expect someone level-headed who knows exactly what to do. The warning they pass on is that it is not cheap. Fair enough — the call-out runs £89 to £199, the drain £199 to £1,999, and both are stated before a van leaves, so nobody is surprised at the roadside. ## 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. ## Who you are dealing with Wrong Fuel Sunderland is a service by Forecourt Assistance.
