How to fix bad diesel fuel: what to do

Mobile drain and flush, on site, usually inside the hour.

Why the engine matters more than the litres

People assume a splash is fine and a full tank is a disaster. It is the other way round. Wrong fuel sitting in a tank is inert — it is a drain. Turn the key and it travels: lift pump, filter, high-pressure pump, injectors, and every stage it reaches adds a component to the bill. Five litres burned is worse than fifty litres left alone.

Step by step

  1. Stop. Do not turn the key Whatever else happens, this is the decision that matters. Contamination only travels under power.
  2. Resist the urge to move it The instinct is to get out of the way. Unless you are somewhere dangerous, staying put is the cheaper instinct to follow.
  3. Safety before diagnosis If you are on a live carriageway, get out and get behind the barrier, and let the police or National Highways deal with the lane first.
  4. Phone 01293 248666 You will be asked four questions and given a price and an arrival window. Both are honest rather than flattering.
  5. On-site extraction The tank is emptied, the feed lines are flushed, fresh fuel goes in and the system is primed and run.
  6. Done, and the waste leaves with us Under a waste transfer note. It is not tipped and it is not sold back to you.

What people actually said

4.8 out of 5 from 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. Two themes dominate the positive ones — how fast someone arrived, and how calm they were about it.

The recurring negative is price. Publishing that alongside the answer seems more useful than hiding it: £89 to £199 for the call-out, £199 to £1,999 for the drain, the total quoted before a technician moves, and no charge for being told on the phone that this is a job for a workshop.

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 if it is not safe to drain where I am?

Then we tell you that on the phone rather than after arriving. Being told honestly costs nothing; being told on arrival costs a call-out.

What about a van or a hire car?

Same job. With a hire car, ring the hire company too — some policies cover a misfuel drain and it is worth knowing before you pay.

Is there an out-of-hours surcharge?

The call-out is the call-out. Whatever the total is, you hear it on the phone before anyone travels.
