We drain and flush all four misfuels in Mildenhall, at the roadside.
Petrol in a diesel car
The most common misfuel. Left in, petrol wears the high-pressure pump. Drained early, it’s a straightforward job.
What to doDiesel in a petrol car
Less common, but a petrol engine won’t run properly on diesel. We take it out and refuel with petrol.
What to doAdBlue in the diesel tank
AdBlue doesn’t burn and attacks metal parts. The tank is emptied and flushed before it can set.
What to doScreenwash in the AdBlue tank
Easy to do when the caps sit side by side. The AdBlue tank is drained and flushed through.
