How long does a wrong fuel drain take?

A typical wrong fuel drain takes between 30 and 50 minutes once our technician arrives, depending on the size of your fuel tank and the type of vehicle. The process involves completely draining the contaminated fuel, flushing the fuel lines and filters, and then refuelling with the correct fuel. We carry fresh fuel on board so you can drive away as soon as the job is done.

How much does a wrong fuel drain cost?

Our mobile fuel drain service starts from £99 for standard vehicles. The final price depends on factors like your vehicle type, tank size, and your location. We always provide a clear quote over the phone before dispatching a technician, so you know exactly what you’ll pay — no hidden fees. Call 07949 505094 for your free, no-obligation quote.

Do you provide mobile EV charging?

Absolutely. We operate a fleet of specially adapted vans fitted with mobile rapid chargers compatible with CCS and CHAdeMO standards. If your electric vehicle has run out of battery charge and you’re stranded, we can deliver enough of a boost to get you safely to the nearest charging station — without the expense of a flatbed tow.

Will draining the fuel void my manufacturer warranty?

Not at all. Our technicians hold industry-recognised certifications and follow manufacturer-approved procedures throughout the fuel drain and flushing process. When handled correctly by professionals, removing the wrong fuel actually protects your engine from long-term damage and preserves your warranty.

What areas do you cover?

WrongFuelQuickFit provides nationwide coverage across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. We have mobile fuel drain units strategically positioned throughout the country, which is how we maintain our average response time of around 45 minutes regardless of where you’re stranded.

Can you help if I've already started the engine with the wrong fuel?

Yes, we can still help. While it’s always best to avoid starting the engine after misfuelling, we understand that many drivers only realise the mistake once they’re already on the road. Pull over safely, turn off the engine immediately, and call us on 07949 505094. Our technicians will drain the contaminated fuel, flush the entire fuel system, and get your vehicle running cleanly again.

Q: I've put the wrong fuel in my car, what should I do?

Starting the engine circulates the wrong fuel through your injectors and fuel pump, which can cause serious and expensive damage. Call our 24/7 wrong fuel emergency line on 07949 505094 straight away — our mobile fuel drain technicians will come to you and safely remove the contaminated fuel from your tank.

I've put the wrong fuel in my car — what should I do right now?
