AdBlue in the fuel tank?
If AdBlue has been added to the diesel or petrol fuel tank, do not start the engine. Call us and explain what happened before attempting to drive the vehicle. The correct next step depends on the vehicle and whether the engine has already been started.

How our mobile fuel-drain service works
- Call with your location and vehicle details. Tell us what fuel was added, approximately how much, and whether the engine has run.
- Discuss the quote and availability. We will explain the proposed service, price and expected arrival time based on your location and the current workload.
- Get help at your vehicle. Our technician assesses the situation, removes contaminated fuel and adds the correct fuel where appropriate. If further mechanical attention is needed, we will explain the next steps.
How much does wrong-fuel rescue cost?
The price depends on the vehicle, location, fuel contamination and whether the vehicle has been started or driven. Call for a quote and tell us the fuel type, approximate amount added and what happened. You can also read our wrong-fuel rescue cost guide.
Already started or driven the vehicle?
Pull over when safe, switch off the engine and do not restart it. Tell our technician exactly what happened. A fuel drain cannot guarantee that damage has not already occurred; the next steps depend on the vehicle and symptoms.
