What to do right now

Do not turn the key or start the engine — that is what turns a drain into a repair.
Do not move the vehicle. On a forecourt, apply the handbrake and tell the station staff.
Call 01295 380724 for a free consultation. Give your location, the vehicle and which fuels were mixed.
A technician attends with a licensed drainage unit and makes the area safe.
The contaminated fuel is pumped out and the fuel lines are flushed through.
Clean fuel goes in, the vehicle is started and checked, and you drive away. The waste fuel leaves with us for compliant disposal.

What it costs

Published UK cost ranges by exposure. Repository data, not a price list — the consultation itself is free.
Exposure	What has been reached	Published range	Source grade
Engine never started	Tank and pickup only	£120–£299	operational dataset, secondary
Started, not driven	Lift pump, feed line, filter	£150–£299	operational dataset
Driven a short distance	High-pressure pump under load	£1,000–£3,000 if the pump is replaced	operational dataset
Driven until power loss	Injectors and common rail	£3,000–£8,000	operational dataset
Most severe recorded cases	Whole fuel system, tank included	£5,000–£15,000+	operational dataset

Ranges are what UK providers and consumer bodies have published, cited on the relevant repository pages. They are here because knowing them changes what you do in the next ten minutes — not as a quotation. Talking to one of our specialists costs nothing.

Common questions

Can I drive with wrong fuel?

No. Starting or driving pumps it through the system and can turn a straightforward drain into an expensive repair. Leave the vehicle where it is and call 01295 380724.

How long does the drain take?

About 45 to 90 minutes on site once the technician arrives. Vehicles that were started or driven take longer, because the lines and filter need flushing as well as the tank.

How much does it cost in the UK?

Published UK figures run from about £120 to £1,500 depending on the vehicle, how much wrong fuel is in the tank and whether the engine was started. Talking through which end of that range applies to you costs nothing — that consultation is what this repository offers.

Will it have damaged the engine?

Only if it has been run through the system. Caught before starting, it sits in the tank and a drain removes it cleanly.

Does insurance cover it?

Often not. Most car insurance policies exclude misfuelling as standard, though some breakdown policies and optional add-ons include it. Check your own wording.

Do you cover the UK?

Yes. Mobile technicians attend forecourts, roadsides, homes and workplaces across the UK, 24 hours a day.

Call 01295 380724 — 24/7, nationwide

Once the fuel is drained and you are moving again, Motor Servicing will service the car on your driveway rather than making you find a garage.
