Wrong Fuel Recovery For Common Fuel Mistakes

If the wrong fuel has been added, it is best to stop before driving any further. Starting or driving the vehicle can make the problem worse, so recovery to a garage, mechanic or fuel specialist may be needed.

Petrol In A Diesel Car

Petrol in a diesel vehicle is one of the most common wrong fuel mistakes. If this has happened, avoid starting the engine and arrange help as soon as possible.

Diesel In A Petrol Car

Diesel in a petrol vehicle can also cause starting and running problems. We can recover the vehicle to a garage, mechanic or fuel drain specialist.

Engine Started After Wrong Fuel

If the engine has already been started, stop driving as soon as it is safe. We can help move the vehicle to the right place for inspection.

Car Still At The Petrol Station

If you are still at the petrol station, leave the vehicle switched off where possible and contact us with your location and fuel details.

Vehicle Has Cut Out

If the vehicle has cut out after refuelling, it may not be safe to restart it. We can arrange recovery to a garage, mechanic or chosen destination.

Warning Lights After Refuelling

If warning lights appear after putting fuel in, the vehicle may need checking before it is driven again. Recovery can prevent more damage.

Ran Out Of Fuel Nearby

If you have run out of fuel in Cheltenham or nearby, we can help with fuel-related roadside support where suitable or arrange recovery if needed.

Fuel Problem In A Van

If your van or small commercial vehicle has a fuel issue, we can help arrange recovery so it can be checked by a garage, mechanic or fuel specialist.
