Professional Help for Diesel in Petrol Engine Across Essex

If you’ve accidentally put diesel in a petrol engine, your car will likely smoke, lose power, and eventually stall as the heavier fuel fouls your spark plugs and clogs the fuel system.
As the leading Misfuelled Car Fixer in Essex, we provide 24/7 emergency rescue to ensure this mistake doesn't result in a permanent breakdown or an expensive garage bill.
Our mobile technicians travel across Chelmsford, Colchester, Basildon, and beyond, arriving with specialized extraction equipment to drain the contaminated fuel and perform a complete system flush right at the roadside.
We pride ourselves on getting Essex drivers back on the road quickly, safely, and at a fraction of the cost of traditional towing services.
What To Do If Diesel In Petrol Engine
1. Do Not Start the Engine
The most important step is to keep the engine switched off. Even turning the ignition to the "on" position (without fully starting the car) can engage the fuel pump and draw the contaminated fuel into your engine’s delicate internal components.
​2. Move to a Safe Location
If you are still at the petrol station, put the car in neutral and ask someone to help you push it to a safe parking bay. If you are on the roadside, put your hazard lights on and ensure you and your passengers are in a safe position away from moving traffic.
3. Call our Specialist Fuel Drain Technician
Contact our professional misfuelled car fixer Essex immediately. Avoid calling your manufacturer or a standard towing service, as they often charge high fees to tow you to a garage for a full system replacement. A specialist can perform a professional fuel drain and system flush right where you are.
