Put The Wrong Fuel In Your Car?
Whether you've put petrol in a diesel or diesel in a petrol, our rapid response mobile fuel drain units are ready to get you back on the road safely and quickly. Do not panic—just call us.
Important Notice
If you realize you have put the wrong fuel in your car while still at the pump, DO NOT PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. Even turning the key to 'accessories' primes the fuel pump and pulls contaminated fuel into the engine. Call us immediately.
WHO WE ARE
Rapid Response Fuel Drains
Misfueling is more common than you think. Every year, over 150,000 motorists in the UK accidentally put the wrong fuel in their cars. Whether you're tired, distracted, or driving an unfamiliar rental car, it happens.
We provide the fastest, safest, and most affordable mobile fuel draining service directly at the roadside or petrol station forecourt.

What We Cover
All Fuel Recovery Services
From cars to HGVs, petrol-in-diesel to AdBlue errors — we handle every misfueling scenario across the UK, 24/7.
Petrol in Diesel
The most common misfuel in the UK. Petrol strips diesel pump lubrication causing catastrophic metal wear. We fully drain, flush and re-prime — no tow required.
Diesel in Petrol
Heavy diesel oils foul spark plugs and injectors in petrol engines, causing misfires and thick smoke. We extract and cleanse your system completely to restore normal combustion.
Wrong Fuel Recovery
Full roadside recovery covering all misfuel types and all vehicle categories. Our specialist units drain, flush, and reintroduce the correct fuel — getting you moving fast.
Fuel Drain Service
Our comprehensive fuel drain service removes 100% of contaminated fuel from your tank, lines, and injectors using professional-grade suction equipment — all at your location.
Emergency Wrong Fuel
Stuck on a motorway or busy A-road after misfueling? We provide priority dispatch for emergency roadside situations — with an average arrival time of just 30-45 minutes.
Wrong Fuel Near Me
We operate a nationwide UK network of mobile fuel drain technicians, ensuring there's always a specialist close to you — wherever you're stranded, day or night.
Petrol-in-Diesel Symptoms
Engine misfires, excessive smoke, loss of power, or unusual noises after filling up? These are classic signs of petrol contamination. Stop immediately — we'll diagnose and resolve it.
Diesel-in-Petrol Symptoms
Thick black exhaust smoke, engine stutter, or the car refusing to start? Diesel in a petrol tank causes fouled plugs and poor combustion. Don't attempt to start it — call us now.

Our fully self-contained mobile units come to you — at the forecourt, roadside, car park, or your driveway. No recovery truck needed. No delays. Just fast, on-the-spot draining.

Misfueled a Transit, Sprinter, Vivaro, or any other commercial van? We specialise in rapid van recovery — minimising downtime for tradespeople, couriers, and fleet operators.
Wrong Fuel — HGV

Customer Reviews
Trusted By Motorists
"Absolute lifesavers. I put petrol in my diesel work van at 2 AM. They arrived in 35 minutes, drained it, and I was back on the road before my shift even started. Highly recommend!"
