Common questions

Worried? Here's what drivers ask us most

I've already started the engine, can you still help?
In many cases, yes. Starting the engine can circulate the wrong fuel and increase the risk of damage, which is why we say stop straight away. But our technicians deal with vehicles that have been started or driven every day. Call us, tell us what happened, and we'll advise on the safest next step.
Will the wrong fuel damage my engine?
The risk depends on the vehicle, the fuel and whether the engine was started. Acting quickly and not starting the engine is the best way to reduce the chance of damage. A prompt, professional drain and flush removes the contaminated fuel before it can cause further problems.
Do you come to me, or do I need a garage?
We come to you. Our mobile units attend the roadside, forecourts and driveways, so in most cases there's no need for towing or a garage visit. We drain, flush and get you moving again on site wherever possible.
How long does it take?
Most jobs are resolved at the roadside on the same visit. Timings vary with your location, the vehicle and how much fuel is involved, and our team will give you a clear idea when you call.
What does it cost?
Call our team for a clear price for your situation. If you have breakdown or insurance cover that includes misfuelling, it may be covered, so it's worth checking your policy.
