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](/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.
