Misfuelled in Felixstowe? We come to you.
Felixstowe is where the A14 begins, and with the port at one end and the seafront at the other, its forecourts see everything from vans and work vehicles to day-trippers. A misfuel can happen to any of them.
If it has happened to you, leave the engine off and call. We come out to Felixstowe and the Trimley villages around the clock, drain and flush the system where the car stands and get you back on the road.
