Wrong fuel in Dovenby: getting to you
Dovenby is reached along the A594, from the same rota that covers Dearham. If the car is on a narrow lane or a farm track, say so — it changes the kit we bring, not the call-out.
The practical difference in a village is recovery. A tow from here to a dealer is a long, expensive run, which is exactly why draining it where it stands is usually the better answer.
What the wrong fuel does on its way through
Diesel lubricates as it passes; petrol dissolves that film and acts as a solvent. Run a diesel high-pressure pump on petrol and it wears fast, shedding fine metal into the injectors behind it. None of that happens while the fuel sits in the tank. All of it starts the moment the engine turns over.
Step by step
- Do not start the engine Before the key turns, the problem is in one place. After it, it is in four. That single decision is worth more than anything else on this page.
- Stay put if it is safe to Do not try to reach home, a garage, or a quieter spot. Every mile driven moves contamination further down the fuel system.
- Get clear if it is not On a verge or a hard shoulder, leave the vehicle and stand behind the barrier. Kit can be replaced; you cannot.
- Ring 01293 248666 Have the registration, the fuel type and an idea of the quantity ready. The full price is confirmed on that call, not on arrival.
- The technician works where you are Extraction, line flush, fresh fuel, prime, run-up. Everything needed travels in the van.
- Paperwork and away You get an invoice and we take the contaminated fuel away as controlled waste, properly consigned.

Reviews, including the bad ones
4.8 out of 5 across 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. Praise clusters on two things — speed of arrival, and technicians who do not make a driver feel stupid about a mistake anyone can make.
The complaint that comes up most is cost. It is a fair thing to raise: call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999, the full price confirmed before a technician sets off, and if the job turns out to be different you are told before further work, not after.
Questions we get asked
Do you work at night?
Yes, around the clock, every day. A large share of misfuels happen after dark, so the rota reflects that.
What if I have already driven it?
Still call. Most vehicles driven a short distance are recoverable. Tell us how far you got, because it changes the kit we bring.
Can I just top it up with the right fuel?
No. Dilution does not fix contamination, and driving to a filling station to try it is the mile that turns a drain into a repair.
What happens to the old fuel?
It leaves with us as controlled waste under a waste transfer note. It is not tipped, and it is not resold to you.
