Accidentally put diesel: what to do
Mobile drain and flush, on site, usually inside the hour.
Litres matter less than you think
The quantity of wrong fuel is rarely what sets the price. Distance travelled through the system does. Fuel that never left the tank comes out with a pump and a hose. Fuel that reached the high-pressure pump may have begun wearing it, and fuel that reached the injectors may have carried that wear with it.
Step by step
- First: nothing Do not turn the key, do not turn the ignition to accessory, do not try the radio. The engine has not run on the wrong fuel yet and that is worth protecting.
- Second: stay where you are Unless you are somewhere dangerous. A vehicle that has not moved is a vehicle whose contamination is still all in one place.
- Third: make the call 01293 248666. Four questions — vehicle, which fuel, roughly how much, did it run — and you get a price and a window before anyone sets off.
- Then we work where the car is Extraction, line flush, fresh fuel, prime, run-up and a check. Nothing needs recovering anywhere.
- And the waste goes properly Registered carrier, waste transfer note, correct consignment. Keep the note; it is the document that protects you, not us.

Questions we get asked
How much does it cost in Maryport?
Call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999. The full price for your vehicle is confirmed on the phone before a technician sets off, so there is no surprise when we arrive.
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.
Do you cover all of CA15 and the Solway coast?
Yes, from one rota — so being at one edge of the area rather than the other changes the arrival window, not the price.
How long will I be waiting?
Arrival depends where you are across CA15 and the Solway coast and what is already running. You get a realistic window on the call rather than an optimistic one.
