Choose what went in
Each misfuel needs a slightly different job. Every one is done at the roadside, with the van’s own equipment.
Petrol in a diesel car
The most common misfuel. Signs if you’ve driven on it: knocking, smoke, loss of power, the engine cutting out.
What to doDiesel in a petrol car
Signs if you’ve driven on it: misfiring, thick exhaust smoke, the engine struggling to start.
What to doAdBlue in the diesel tank
AdBlue doesn’t burn and attacks metal fuel parts. The sooner it comes out, the less there is to replace.
What to doScreenwash in the AdBlue tank

What happens when we arrive
Usually 30 to 40 minutes on site, then you drive away.
You call
Tell us where you are, what went in and roughly how much. We’ll say when to expect us.
We drive out
The van comes to the car: the forecourt, the roadside, your driveway or a car park.
We drain the tank
Spark-free suction equipment draws the contaminated fuel out of the tank.
We flush the system
The fuel lines are flushed through, so none of the wrong fuel is left to reach the engine.
You drive away
The system is primed with fresh fuel and the car is ready to go. We take the waste fuel away.
Not sure which one it is? Call and tell us.
Describe what happened and what the pump said. We’ll work out the rest with you on the phone.
