A fuel problem can happen at home, at work, on a petrol station forecourt or halfway through a journey.
You shouldn't have to find a garage and arrange separate vehicle recovery just to empty the tank.
Our mobile fuel drain service comes directly to the vehicle. The technician assesses the situation, removes the unwanted fuel and carries out the appropriate fuel-system procedure before checking whether the vehicle can safely be restarted.
We can assist with:
Petrol accidentally added to a diesel vehicle
Diesel accidentally added to a petrol vehicle

Call for Mobile Fuel Draining
If you've realised something is wrong with the fuel in your vehicle, avoid driving it unnecessarily.
Starting or driving a misfuelled vehicle can circulate the incorrect fuel further through the fuel system. The correct response depends on the vehicle, fuel type and whether the engine has already been started.
Wrong Fuel Guys can send a mobile technician to carry out a fuel tank drain at your location.
Instead of searching from garage to garage for someone who can drain the tank, you can arrange the service where your vehicle is currently parked.
Tell us:
Your vehicle make and model
Your location
What fuel was added
Approximately how much was added
Whether the engine has been started
This allows us to understand the situation before the technician arrives.
When people search for a fuel draining service near me, speed matters — but so does carrying out the job correctly.
Fuel removal is more than simply inserting a hose into the tank.
Depending on the vehicle and situation, the technician may need to:
Confirm the incorrect or contaminated fuel.
Access the vehicle's fuel system safely.
Drain the unwanted fuel from the tank.
Remove remaining contaminated fuel where necessary.
Add the correct fuel.
Prime or flush the fuel system where appropriate.
Check the vehicle before restart.
Confirm that the engine is operating correctly.
The exact procedure can vary between petrol, diesel and modern fuel-injection systems.
Need fuel removal from the tank but don't want the trouble of arranging a tow?
That's exactly where a mobile fuel drain service can help.
Our technician travels to the vehicle with the equipment required to remove the unwanted fuel on-site.
This can be particularly useful when your vehicle is:
Parked at home
At your workplace
On a petrol station forecourt
In a car park
At the roadside
Unable to be driven safely
Getting the service brought to you can reduce unnecessary recovery arrangements and get the problem dealt with more efficiently.
One of the first things most drivers want to know is:
How much will a fuel drain cost?
There isn't one fixed price for every vehicle because the work required depends on the situation.
Your fuel drain cost can be affected by:
Vehicle make and model
Petrol or diesel engine
Amount of incorrect fuel added
Amount of correct fuel already in the tank
Whether the engine was started
Whether the vehicle was driven
Fuel-system contamination
Vehicle location
Additional flushing or priming required
Contact Wrong Fuel Guys with your vehicle and location details and we'll explain the expected cost before arranging assistance.
Get a Fuel Drain Price
Searching for the cheapest fuel drain service is understandable, especially when an accidental fuel mistake has already caused an unexpected expense.
However, price shouldn't be the only consideration.
A very cheap quote may not always cover the complete procedure your vehicle requires.
When comparing fuel drainage services, ask whether the price covers:
Mobile call-out
Fuel tank drainage
Removal of contaminated fuel
Fuel-system flushing where required
System priming
Restart checks
Disposal or handling of removed fuel
Wrong Fuel Guys focuses on providing a clear quote based on the vehicle and the actual work required.
That means you can understand what you're paying for before arranging the service.
Petrol in a diesel vehicle is one of the most common wrong-fuel situations.
Diesel fuel also provides lubrication to parts of the diesel fuel system. Adding petrol changes the properties of the fuel mixture and can potentially affect sensitive components if the vehicle continues to run.
If you realise the mistake before starting the engine, leave the vehicle switched off and arrange a fuel drain.
If the vehicle has already been started or driven, tell the technician when contacting us.
The situation can still often be dealt with, but the fuel may have travelled beyond the tank.
Diesel can also accidentally be added to a petrol vehicle.
Depending on the quantity involved, the engine may run poorly, misfire, smoke, lose power or fail to start.
Continuing to drive isn't a good way to try to “burn off” the incorrect fuel.
A proper fuel drainage procedure removes the contaminated mixture and allows the correct petrol to be added.
Don't panic — but stop driving if it is safe to do so.
Tell us exactly what happened.
There is an important difference between:
Wrong fuel added but engine NOT started
and
Wrong fuel added and vehicle driven
If the engine has not been started, the incorrect fuel may largely remain inside the tank.
Once the engine runs, the mixture can move through fuel lines, pumps, filters and injection equipment.
Knowing what happened helps the technician determine the appropriate fuel-draining procedure.
Taking a misfuelled vehicle to a conventional garage can sometimes mean organising recovery first and then waiting for the garage to become available.
A mobile fuel drain service comes to the problem instead.
No need to drive a vehicle that may contain contaminated fuel.
The fuel can normally be removed where the vehicle is parked.
We deal with common petrol-in-diesel, diesel-in-petrol and fuel contamination situations.
Provide the vehicle and incident details to receive an appropriate quote for the work required.
Wrong Fuel Guys specialises in dealing with fuel-drain and misfuelling situations.
Discovered the problem after returning home?
We can arrange a fuel drain at your home address, subject to access and service availability.
The technician comes to the vehicle, carries out the necessary fuel removal and checks the system before restart.
Realised you selected the wrong pump?
If you have not started the engine, leave it off.
Tell petrol station staff what has happened and move the vehicle only if they advise that it can be safely repositioned without starting the engine.
Then contact Wrong Fuel Guys.
We can arrange a technician to attend the vehicle and carry out the necessary fuel draining procedure.

Send us your location and vehicle details so we can confirm availability.
Tell us what happened, your location and vehicle details.

Additional procedures can be carried out where required.

Different vehicles use different fuel-system designs, so always provide the make, model, registration or relevant vehicle information when requesting assistance.
The most important thing is to avoid making the situation worse.
Do not keep driving simply because the vehicle still runs.
If you have realised the mistake:
Switch the engine off if safe to do so.
Do not repeatedly attempt to restart the vehicle.
Confirm what fuel you added.
Estimate approximately how much was added.
Contact a fuel-draining specialist.
The earlier the problem is dealt with, the simpler the fuel removal process may be.

Tell Wrong Fuel Guys where your vehicle is and what has happened.
