Emergency Mobile Fuel Drain Services
Put the wrong fuel in your vehicle? Don't panic and do not turn on the ignition.
At Misfuelled Car Fix, we operate a nationwide network of fully accredited mobile fuel drain units.
We come directly to your location—whether you are stranded on a petrol station forecourt, by the roadside, at work, or at home.
Our technicians are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to flush your system and get you moving.
Putting petrol into a diesel tank is the most common misfuelling mistake.
Diesel engines rely on the fuel itself for lubrication; thin, abrasive petrol can rapidly destroy your high-pressure fuel pump and injectors if circulated.
-
Our Solution: We completely extract the petrol from your tank, flush the fuel lines, clear the fuel filter housing, and add fresh diesel to prime and safely restart the engine.
-
Average Arrival Time: 35–45 minutes.

Price: From £120.00
While less common due to nozzle sizes, putting diesel in a petrol vehicle will quickly coat your spark plugs and clog your fuel injectors.
This results in heavy exhaust smoke, severe engine misfiring, and immediate stalling.
-
Our Solution: We drain the contaminated fuel tank entirely, clear the fuel rail, dry/clean the spark plugs, and ensure the petrol delivery network is free of heavy diesel residue before initialization.

Average Arrival Time: 35–45 minutes.

Accidentally pouring AdBlue into your diesel fuel tank is a critical emergency.
AdBlue is a water-based urea solution.
If it circulates and dries, it crystallizes, shattering fuel pumps, corroding sensors, and causing thousands of pounds in permanent engine damage.
-
Our Solution: This requires an advanced mechanical flush. We completely extract the fluid and use chemical neutralizers to strip any trace of AdBlue before crystallization can take hold.
-
Average Arrival Time: Immediate priority dispatch.

Price: From £349.00

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: I’ve just put the wrong fuel in my car. What should I do right now?
A: Do not turn on your ignition and do not start the engine. If you are already driving, pull over safely immediately and switch off the engine. Turning the key or pressing the start button allows the fuel pump to circulate the contaminated fuel deep into the engine block, which can cause severe mechanical damage. Keep the keys out of the ignition and call us immediately.
Q: How long will it take for a technician to reach me?
A: Because we operate a nationwide network of mobile fuel drain specialists, our average arrival time is between 35 to 45 minutes. When you call or WhatsApp us, our dispatch team will look at live traffic tracking and provide you with an accurate, real-time ETA.
Q: Will putting the wrong fuel in void my car's manufacturer warranty?
A: No, not when handled properly. Our mobile fuel drain process completely flushes out the contamination and restores the correct fuel delivery safely. We use industry-standard, approved techniques that get your car back to factory-safe operational conditions without affecting your warranty.
Q: Can you drain the fuel on a petrol station forecourt, or do I need a tow truck?
A: There is absolutely no need to pay for an expensive tow truck. Our technicians are fully SPA and ATEX certified to handle fuel extractions safely directly on the petrol station forecourt. We handle the safety cordons, grounding, and spill prevention on-site while the petrol station continues running smoothly.
Q: How much does a mobile fuel drain service cost?
A: Our transparent standard fuel drains start from £120.00. For advanced contamination issues, such as AdBlue in a diesel tank, specialized prices start from £349.00 due to the neutralizers required. We always give you a fixed, guaranteed quote before dispatching a technician—there are never any hidden roadside fees.
Q: What payment methods do you accept at the roadside?
A: You do not need to worry about carrying cash. Every single one of our response vehicles is equipped with a secure, mobile chip-and-pin card terminal. We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard), American Express, Apple Pay, and Google Pay securely at your location.
