Wrong fuel in your tank?
We're on the way.
Mobile wrong fuel recovery across Leinster. Roadside, driveway or forecourt — we drain, flush and refuel so you drive away in under an hour.
It happens to 150,000+ Irish drivers each year.
A moment of distraction at the pump. A rental you're unfamiliar with. A diesel courtesy car. Putting the wrong fuel in is the most common preventable engine fault — and the most expensive if you start the engine.
Petrol in diesel
Most common wrong fuel mistake. Petrol acts as a solvent — destroys fuel pump lubrication.
Diesel in petrol
Engine will misfire, foul plugs and stall. Full drain still required.
AdBlue in fuel tank
AdBlue poured into the diesel or petrol tank crystallises and corrodes injectors, pump and lines. Do not start the engine — full drain and flush required.
Contaminated tank
Water, dirt, or stale fuel after long storage. We drain, flush and refill with fresh fuel.
Fully insured
Fully insured. All qualified mobile technicians. Manufacturer-approved equipment and safe fuel handling.

Stranded right now? Skip the reading and ring us — we'd rather talk it through than have you worry.
089 700 2077Don't start the engine. Don't smoke near the car. Stand behind the safety barrier if you're on a public road.
Right now — what to do
- Do NOT turn the key, do NOT touch the ignition, and do NOT push the start button — even briefly. Activating the fuel pump circulates contaminated fuel through the system. Step out, leave the key in your pocket, and ring us on 089 700 2077.
- Almost certainly not. Switch it off immediately and don't restart it. If you only ran it for a few seconds the damage is usually limited to fuel in the lines, which we flush. The longer it runs, the higher the risk to the high-pressure pump and injectors — but a same-day drain still resolves the vast majority of cases.
- Yes — putting the car in neutral and pushing it to a safe spot (or letting forecourt staff help) is fine. What you must not do is crank the starter to move it. If you're on a motorway hard shoulder, stay behind the barrier and call 112 first, then us.
- No. Even 500 metres can push contaminated fuel deep into the injection system and turn a €240 drain into a €2,000+ repair. We come to you across our service area — wait for us.
I've just put the wrong fuel in. What's the very first thing I should do?
I've already started the engine — is the car ruined?
Is it safe to roll/push the car off the forecourt?
Can I drive it 'just a short distance' home?
