What damage does putting petrol in a diesel: what to do
How the damage escalates, stage by stage.
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
- The single rule Leave the engine off. Everything else on this list is secondary to that one instruction.
- Do not reposition the car Pushing it into a bay feels considerate but it disturbs the fuel. Stay put unless you are in danger.
- If it is dangerous, get out On a verge or live road, everybody out on the side away from traffic and behind the barrier. Then call.
- Call 01293 248666, day or night Answered around the clock. Describe the vehicle and what happened; the full price is confirmed on that call.
- The fix, where you stand Drain, flush, refill, prime and run-up, carried out at the roadside or on the forecourt.
- Finished properly The waste is taken away by a registered carrier with the transfer note, and you get an invoice.

What customers say
4.8 out of 5 from 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. The thing reviewers mention most is technicians who stay calm and professional with someone who is having a bad day, followed by how quickly a van turns up.
The most common criticism is price, so here it is plainly rather than buried: the call-out is £89 to £199 and the drain £199 to £1,999, and the full figure is given on the phone before anyone travels.
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.
