Wrong Fuel Drain Service
Petrol in Diesel?

Misfuelling happens. If you've put the wrong fuel in your vehicle, we come to you, drain the tank, flush the system, and get you back on the road.

Wait! Do Not Turn The Key.

If you have realized your mistake at the pump, do not start the engine. Even turning the ignition on can prime the fuel pump and circulate contaminated fuel into your injectors.

Ali Recovery provides a specialist mobile fuel draining service. We are fully licensed to handle and dispose of contaminated fuel. We carry specialist pumping equipment to drain your tank completely, flush the lines, and provide enough fresh fuel to get you moving againβ€”all at the roadside.

Petrol in Diesel? Diesel in Petrol?

Putting petrol in a diesel car is the most common error. Petrol acts as a solvent, stripping the necessary lubrication from diesel injectors. If driven, this can cause catastrophic engine failure.

⚠️ If You Have Misfuelled

  1. Leave the engine OFF. Remove the key.
  2. Tell the petrol station attendant.
  3. Push the car to a safe parking bay if possible (with help).
  4. Call Ali Recovery on 07728 700027 explicitly stating "Wrong Fuel".

Drain Procedure

1. Arrival

We arrive at the forecourt or roadside in an unmarked van or recovery truck.

2. Extraction

We pump out the contaminated fuel safely into our onboard tanks.

3. Refill

We put in enough correct fuel to get the engine running and bleed the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

I drove the car, is it ruined?

Not necessarily. Stop immediately. We can usually save the engine by performing a full system flush including filters and lines.

How much does a drain cost?

It is widespread and cheaper than a new engine! Prices depend on the amount of fuel and location. Call for a quote.

Does insurance cover this?

Some policies do include misfuelling cover. Check your documents. We can provide a vat invoice for your claim.
