Wrong Fuel Rescue

It’s the sinking feeling every driver dreads. You’ve had a long day, you’re distracted at the pumps, and as you start filling, you realize the handle is the wrong color. Whether it’s petrol in a diesel, diesel in a petrol, or even AdBlue in the fuel tank, you aren’t alone.

Thousands of UK drivers make this mistake every month. The good news? Misfuelled Car Fixer provides expert, 24/7 nationwide recovery to get you back on the road without the need for an expensive dealership tow.

The Golden Rule: STOP. Don't Start the Engine.

If you realize you've misfuelled while still at the petrol station, you are in a much better position to save your engine.

• Do NOT turn the key: Even turning the ignition to "on" can prime the fuel pump and send the wrong fuel into the engine lines.
• Put it in Neutral: If you need to move away from the pump, put the car in neutral and ask for a push to a safe parking bay.
• Call the Experts: Contact a specialist fuel drain technician immediately.

We don't just cover the big cities; our fleet of specialized mobile units spans the entire UK. We bring the garage to you, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

1. Petrol in Diesel Rescue

This is the most common (and potentially damaging) mistake. Petrol acts as a solvent, stripping away the lubrication your diesel pump and injectors need. We drain the tank, flush the system, and get you moving before permanent damage occurs.

2. Diesel in Petrol Recovery

While the nozzles usually make this harder to do, it still happens! Diesel won't fire in a petrol engine, leading to smoking and stalling. We’ll clear the heavy diesel out and get your spark plugs firing again.

3. AdBlue in Diesel Tank (Critical)

Warning: AdBlue is not a fuel. If it enters your fuel system, it can crystallize and cause thousands of pounds in damage. Do not attempt to drive. Our technicians carry specialized equipment to decontaminate AdBlue errors on-site.

Covering Every Corner of the UK

From the Highlands of Scotland to the tip of Cornwall, and every motorway in between (M1, M6, M25, A1)—we are never far away. Whether you are stuck at the petrol station or the side of the road, our mobile units are authorized to work on-site to get your day back on track.

Customer Note: "I was stranded at 2 AM on a Sunday. The technician arrived in 45 minutes, drained the petrol, and had me back on the road in under half an hour. Saved my engine and my sanity!"
