FAQS

You’ve Got Questions. We’ve Fixed This A Thousand Times

I’ve put the wrong fuel in my car. What should I do first?

Stop the engine immediately. Don’t turn the key. Starting the car can push the wrong fuel through the system and lead to serious engine damage. Call a certified mobile fuel drain technician right away

Is my engine damaged if I used the wrong fuel?

Not always. If you haven’t started the engine yet, damage is unlikely. If you’ve already driven, we’ll assess the situation. The faster you act, the higher the chance of a damage-free fix.

What happens if you accidentally put diesel in a petrol car?

Diesel can clog the spark plugs and fuel system in a petrol engine. The car may not start, or it might misfire. If this happens, don’t try to force it, call us for a safe fuel drain

What happens if I put petrol in a diesel engine?

Petrol strips away lubrication in a diesel engine, which can cause severe damage to fuel pumps and injectors. If you realise the mistake early and avoid starting the engine, it’s usually a simple drain-and-flush job

Can the wrong fuel be removed from newer or luxury vehicles?

Yes. Misfuel Doctor technicians use industry-grade equipment that’s compatible with all modern and high-end vehicles, including hybrids and electric-petrol models.

Do you offer 24/7 wrong fuel recovery near me?

Yes! Misfuel Doctor offers 24/7 wrong fuel recovery across the UK. We cover all major cities and regions, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, and more. Not sure if we serve your area? Check your area here or give us a quick call, we’re always ready to help.

I accidentally added AdBlue to my diesel tank. What now?

Don’t start the engine. AdBlue is corrosive and can severely damage your fuel system. We’ll safely extract it, flush the tank, and refill with clean diesel on the spot

How long does a wrong fuel drain take?

Most jobs take around 30–45 minutes from the time we arrive. We aim to reach you within 30–45 minutes, depending on your location.

Do you offer fuel recovery for commercial fleets, taxis, or vans?

Yes. We help private drivers, tradespeople, delivery fleets, and commercial vehicles across all covered regions. Just let us know the vehicle type when you call.

Can I book an appointment instead of emergency help?

Absolutely. We offer scheduled, appointment-based fuel drain services for non-urgent jobs, perfect for fleet maintenance or planned servicing

Is misfuelling covered by UK car insurance?

It depends on your policy. Some UK insurers cover misfuelling under accidental damage or breakdown. Others may not. It’s best to check directly with your provider.

Can misfuelling void my car’s warranty?

In some cases, yes. Many UK manufacturers consider misfuelling driver error, which may void parts of your warranty. Always check with your dealership or warranty documents.
