Do not start it and do not top it up hoping to dilute it — call first. Call 01293 248666 — a mobile technician comes to the vehicle anywhere across TS1 and TS3 to TS8. Call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999. ## What "local" actually means here It means the number is answered by the people who send technicians to Middlesbrough, and that coverage of TS1 and TS3 to TS8 is a dispatch area rather than a marketing claim. It does not mean a building — Wrong Fuel Middlesbrough has no premises and never has. Call 01293 248666 and the equipment comes to you. **Search**: i put 2 litres of unleaded in my diesel **What it is**: Small amount of petrol in diesel **Where we cover**: TS1 and TS3 to TS8 **Cost**: Call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999, quoted in full before we travel **Time on site**: About an hour **Hours**: 24 hours, every day **Phone**: 01293 248666 ## I put 2 litres of unleaded in my diesel: what to do Five litres, twenty litres, a splash — why the amount matters less than the key. ## What actually happens inside the fuel system Fuel leaves the tank through the lift pump, passes the filter, reaches the high-pressure pump and then the injectors. Petrol in a diesel system strips the lubrication that high-pressure pump depends on, and metal shed by the pump travels downstream into the injectors. That sequence is the whole story: cost depends on whether the engine ran, and for how long, not on how many litres went in. ## Step by step Freeze, then think The reflex is to start up and drive somewhere sensible. Resist it. Nothing about the situation gets worse while the engine stays off. - Where you are is fine A forecourt bay, a kerb, a car park: all workable. Only move if staying put is genuinely dangerous. - Hazards and a quick word Switch the hazards on and tell anyone who needs to know — cashier, passengers, the driver behind. - Ring 01293 248666 with four facts Make, wrong fuel, rough quantity, started or not. Those four facts set the price you are quoted before dispatch. - A technician arrives equipped Pump, sealed waste drum, fresh fuel and priming kit all come in the van. Nothing is towed. - Drive off, document in hand About an hour for a typical job, then a waste transfer note for the old fuel, which is worth keeping. ## The full page for this - Small amount of petrol in diesel in Middlesbrough ## Related searches - I put 5 litres of petrol in my diesel car - 20 litres of petrol in diesel car - Small amount of petrol in diesel car - Small amount of diesel in petrol car - 10 litres of petrol in diesel car - Small amount of petrol in diesel engine - 15 litres of petrol in diesel car - 5 litres of diesel in a petrol car ## The pattern across 2,190 reviews An average of 4.8 on Trustpilot.
