If you have put the wrong fuel in your car, it's important not to start the engine or even turn the key in the ignition, phone us and we will give you further advice.

Unfortunately mis-fuelling is not covered under normal breakdown cover. Breakdown services don't always deal with cars with the wrong fuel and you are likely to be towed to a garage for them to drain the tank. Here at wrong fuel recovery we will come to you and drain on site, no matter where you are.

Putting the wrong fuel in your car is not usually offered as part of a breakdown membership and is a separate service. The breakdown company is likely to charge you around double, if not more than what we charge to do the same job - regardless of you being a member. We are always the cheaper option.

This all depends on the size of your tank and the vehicle that's been mis-fuelled, we recommend anything over 5% of the car's full tank capacity will need to be drained to prevent damage. Newer model cars are less tolerable to the wrong fuel being placed inside.

If your in no rush to have the car drained of the wrong fuel, we can schedule you in for a set time convenient for you. However we do recommend that the vehicle is drained and flushed as soon as possible to prevent damage.
