I put 2 litres of diesel in my petrol car: what to do
Five litres, twenty litres, a splash — why the amount matters less than the key.
The four stages that decide the bill
Tank, lift pump, filter, high-pressure pump, injectors — in that order. A vehicle caught before the key turns has contamination in stage one only, and that is a straightforward extraction. Each further stage the fuel reaches is another part that may need replacing, which is why the first question on the phone is always whether the engine was started.
Step by step
- The single rule Leave the engine off. Everything else on this list is secondary to that one instruction.
- Do not reposition the car Pushing it into a bay feels considerate but it disturbs the fuel. Stay put unless you are in danger.
- If it is dangerous, get out On a verge or live road, everybody out on the side away from traffic and behind the barrier. Then call.
- Call 01293 248666, day or night Answered around the clock. Describe the vehicle and what happened; the full price is confirmed on that call.
- The fix, where you stand Drain, flush, refill, prime and run-up, carried out at the roadside or on the forecourt.
- Finished properly The waste is taken away by a registered carrier with the transfer note, and you get an invoice.

What people actually said
4.8 out of 5 from 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. Two themes dominate the positive ones — how fast someone arrived, and how calm they were about it.
The recurring negative is price. Publishing that alongside the answer seems more useful than hiding it: £89 to £199 for the call-out, £199 to £1,999 for the drain, the total quoted before a technician moves, and no charge for being told on the phone that this is a job for a workshop.
