FUEL DRAIN SERVICE

If you’ve accidentally put petrol in a diesel car or diesel in a petrol car, DO NOT start the engine. Running the vehicle with the wrong fuel can circulate contaminants through your fuel system, leading to clogged injectors, fuel pump failure, and severe engine damage. Instead, keep the ignition off and call Car Recovery London’s emergency fuel drain service immediately.

Our professional wrong fuel specialists provide fast, on-site fuel drainage wherever you are—at a petrol station, on the roadside, or at home. With state-of-the-art equipment, we safely flush out the contaminated fuel, clean the fuel system, replace filters if needed, and refill with the correct fuel to get you back on the road quickly.

If you drive after misfuelling, you risk:

Fuel pump and injector damage (especially in diesel engines)

Catalytic converter failure (an expensive replacement)

Engine knocking or seizing, leading to costly repairs

The longer you drive, the worse the damage—so stop immediately and call us for a safe and professional fuel drain service.

Trying to siphon fuel yourself or using additives to dilute the wrong fuel can cause more harm than good. These methods often leave harmful residues in the system and may void your car warranty. Only a qualified wrong fuel removal technician can fully clean your fuel lines, injectors, and tank, ensuring no long-term damage occurs.

A professional wrong fuel removal service typically costs £150–£300, whereas engine damage from misfuelling can lead to repairs costing £2,000+. Our 24/7 emergency fuel drainage service is the safest and most cost-effective way to protect your vehicle.

Most car insurance policies do not cover misfuelling, but some offer “wrong fuel cover” as an add-on. Contact your insurer to check if you’re eligible for free or discounted fuel drainage services. If not, don’t worry—Car Recovery London provides affordable, fast, and expert wrong fuel removal to get you back on the road without breaking the bank.
