It's becoming a known fact that more and more people are putting the wrong fuel in their cars. Petrol in Diesel and Diesel in Petrol is so common now that some breakdown providers are no starting to offer it in their packages.

However, insurance companies will probably never add wrong fuel policies to their plans as it is that common.

Below is a testimonial from Aron Johnston, he put petrol in his diesel Audi A5 Convertible on New Years Eve evening. We got the report that he used wrong fuel at around 7pm and he was one of the lucky ones that had managed to get his car back on the driveway. Even though he had put 20 litres of petrol in his diesel car which was already low on diesel, he got home and called us up straight away. This is what he had to say


"I was worried because I had read on other websites that i might need a new engine! I quickly called Fuel Doctor and the lady in the office reassured me that everything would be ok. I had an engineer out in Manchester within an hour (which is amazing for New Years Eve) and when he turned up, he quickly drained the petrol from the diesel tank with this inbuilt machine in the van. Very high tech, great bloke, we had a cup of tea for 15 minutes and then he worked his magic and filled me back up with £20 worth of fuel. 

It was a great all round service that actually left me smiling, it was my fault I put wrong fuel in my car, I was annoyed with myself, but not with their service.

They were cheaper than AA and RAC (who I am a member with and even they didnt cover me for it!) 

Just like to say, thanks to Fuel Doctor for getting me back on track, especially with it being a New Years Eve."

Paul and his family set off early from Norwich on Sunday morning on their way to London Stanstead Airport for their holiday flight to Spain stopping only for fuel at a service station near Cambridge. This is where it went wrong. Shortly after leaving the filling station, the car, a VW Passat started to jump and jolt. It was then that Paul realised he had filled his diesel car with petrol!

Paul fortunately found Fuel Doctor when he searched for fast Fuel Drain on his mobile phone. Luckily for Paul and his family we were on site with them with in 20 minutes of his call to the Fuel Doctor Call Centre.

We drained the wrong fuel from his car and topped it up with the correct diesel for them to get on the way to the next fuel station then on to Stanstead. Fortunately, Paul and his family were only delayed around 40 minutes still making the flight and what proved to be fantastic Spanish holiday – All in a days work for Fuel Doctor!
