Petrol is a solvent, so it removes that protection. The pump keeps turning, wears, and sends particles toward the injectors. Every part of that chain begins with the ignition. ## 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 ## Independent reviews, unedited Trustpilot: 4.8 out of 5, 2,190 reviews. Nobody filters them before they appear. Compliments mostly concern turnaround and manner — quick to arrive, unhurried once there. Complaints mostly concern price. Our answer is transparency rather than discounting: call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999, each confirmed verbally before dispatch. ## Questions we get asked **What if I have already driven it?** Still call. Most vehicles driven a short distance are recoverable. Tell us how far you got, because it changes the kit we bring. **Do I need to stay with the vehicle?** Usually yes, so we can hand it back to you running. If you cannot stay, say so on the call and we will work out how to do it. **Is there an out-of-hours surcharge?** The call-out is the call-out. Whatever the total is, you hear it on the phone before anyone travels. **Can I just top it up with the right fuel?** No. Dilution does not fix contamination, and driving to a filling station to try it is the mile that turns a drain into a repair. ## Who you are dealing with Wrong Fuel Middlesbrough is a service by Forecourt Assistance.
