Roadside diesel draining in progress
Do this first
What to do if you put diesel in a petrol car
Four quick steps before we start diesel draining. Get the car safe, then get us on the phone.
01 Stop turning the key
Do not keep cranking after putting diesel in a petrol car. That floods the plugs with diesel.
02 Tell forecourt staff
Ask for help to push the car clear of the pumps if you are still on the forecourt.
03 Move somewhere safe
Get the vehicle out of traffic. Share a road name, postcode, or shop name when you call for a diesel drain.
04 Call Fuel Flush
Call 07933 620 900. We confirm your location and dispatch a mobile diesel draining van.
CRITICAL ENGINE ADVICE
Diesel in your petrol tank? Stop turning the key
Cranking after putting diesel in a petrol car floods the spark plugs with diesel. Stop the key, keep ignition OFF, and call Fuel Flush for immediate diesel draining.

What happens when diesel goes in a petrol tank
Putting diesel in a petrol car happens with fuel cans, capless fillers, and rushed forecourt stops. Diesel is heavier than petrol and will not burn cleanly in a spark ignition engine. That leads to stalling, heavy smoke, and fouled spark plugs. Fuel Flush provides roadside diesel draining, flushes the petrol system, and tops up with clean unleaded so you can drive away.

- Forecourt-safe ATEX diesel draining equipment
- Most diesel in petrol drains take 20 to 35 minutes on scene
Diesel will not burn cleanly
Petrol engines need a fine petrol mist. Diesel is heavier and fouls spark plugs fast.
Stalling and smoke are common
If driven after diesel in petrol, the car may sputter, stall, or blow white smoke.
Fast diesel draining fixes most cases
A prompt diesel drain and petrol flush usually gets the car restarted the same visit.
