Expert Car Mechanics in Watford

If you have started a car with the wrong fuel and it has turned itself off due to mis-fuelling, we can still help. Turn the car off immediately and refrain from putting the key in the ignition. Call us as soon as and our engineers will drain, flush and re-fill your car with the correct fuel to get you started again.

Firstly it is important to remain calm in these situations, damage to the car can amount to a lot of money if the car is driven on the wrong fuel. Our engineers are recorded to arrive on site with the customer within 30 mins and our fuel drains take on average 20 mins to complete. This means that after you have called us, we can have your car up and running, helping you to be on your way in under 1 hour.

Sadly the petrol sitting on top of diesel theory, is a myth. They actually mix directly as contact is made, creating a volatile mixture that can destroy your injectors and fuel pump costing thousands to correct.

Manufacturers will tow your car to their workshop to complete the drain which is very time consuming. Not only that, but mis-fuelling will often void your warranty and you will have to pay for the whole fuel system to be replaced to keep your warranty in tact.

If you are still at the service station where the mistake was made then it is unlikely that any damage will have taken place as long as the engine hasn't been started. We can drain and flush the system to get you on your way again. If the car has been driven, there could already be damage caused. In this case please call us for more information. However we have successfully drained and started over 99% off all vehicles driven on the wrong fuel - so chances are, we will get you going again.
