Fuel replace: what to do

Mobile drain and flush, on site, usually inside the hour.

What the wrong fuel does on its way through

Diesel lubricates as it passes; petrol dissolves that film and acts as a solvent. Run a diesel high-pressure pump on petrol and it wears fast, shedding fine metal into the injectors behind it. None of that happens while the fuel sits in the tank. All of it starts the moment the engine turns over.

Step by step

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Then we work where the car is Extraction, line flush, fresh fuel, prime, run-up and a check. Nothing needs recovering anywhere.
  5. And the waste goes properly Registered carrier, waste transfer note, correct consignment. Keep the note; it is the document that protects you, not us.

Questions we get asked

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.

Is this a garage?

No. Wrong Fuel Durham 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.
