Our Wrong Fuel Services

Expert fuel drain services for all vehicle types. We come to you anywhere in London, Essex and Sussex.

Petrol in Diesel

The most common misfuel. We drain the contaminated fuel, flush the system and refuel you at the roadside so the fuel pump and injectors are protected.

Diesel in Petrol

Less damaging than petrol in diesel, but the car will smoke, misfire and cut out. We drain the tank, flush the system and clean the spark plugs on the spot.

AdBlue Removal

AdBlue in the fuel tank is a critical emergency. We drain the tank, flush every trace of urea solution from the system and dispose of it as hazardous waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions drivers ask us most.

I've put the wrong fuel in my car - what should I do?

Do not start the engine or even turn the ignition on, because that activates the fuel pump and pushes the wrong fuel through the system. Leave the car where it is, tell the forecourt staff if you are at a petrol station, and call Wrong Fuel Rescue on 07393 440 255. A mobile technician will come to you and drain the tank on the spot.

How long does a fuel drain take?

Most roadside fuel drains are finished within 30-45 minutes of the technician arriving, depending on the vehicle and how much fuel is in the tank. Including travel time, most customers are back on the road within about an hour.

Will the wrong fuel have damaged my engine?

If the engine has not been started, damage is very unlikely and a full drain and flush fixes the problem completely. If you have driven the car, we flush the fuel lines and filter to minimise the risk of harm to the fuel pump and injectors.

How much does a wrong fuel drain cost?

We quote a fixed price over the phone based on your vehicle and location, with no hidden extras. A mobile fuel drain is typically a fraction of the cost of a dealership repair or a recovery truck plus garage bill.

Which areas do you cover?

We cover every London borough and the whole area inside the M25, plus Essex and Sussex. Technicians are stationed around the capital so we can usually reach you within 30-60 minutes, 24 hours a day.

Do I need to be an AA or RAC member?

No. Wrong Fuel Rescue is an independent specialist - you simply pay for the call-out you need, with no membership or subscription.

Is there a wrong fuel drain service near me?

If you are anywhere in London, inside the M25, or in Essex or Sussex, yes. Our technicians are stationed around the capital, so the nearest van is usually 30-60 minutes away, day or night. Call 07393 440 255 with your postcode and we will tell you the arrival time straight away.
