Wrong Fuel FAQs
I put petrol in my diesel car, what should I do?
Do not start the engine! Call ZZB Motive immediately. We will come to you, drain the tank, and flush the system so you can drive away safely.
How much does wrong fuel recovery cost compared to a tow?
Our roadside fuel recovery is cheaper than a tow truck or engine repair. Call us for a fixed quote.
Do you cover Peterborough and London?
Yes, our mobile wrong fuel doctors cover both Peterborough (PE postcodes) and East London/Essex.
What happens if you put petrol in a diesel car and start it?
Petrol acts as a solvent in diesel engines, destroying the lubrication pump. Running the engine forces this mixed fuel into the high-pressure system, causing metal friction, swarf, and potentially thousands of pounds in engine damage. Stop driving immediately.
How long does it take to drain wrong fuel?
Our mobile fuel drain process typically takes 30 to 45 minutes once we arrive at your location. We pump out the contaminated fuel, flush the system to clean the lines, and provide enough fresh fuel to get you to the nearest petrol station.
