Misfuelled in Newmarket? We come to you.

Newmarket sits where the A14 and the A11 meet, so its forecourts are full of drivers heading east, west and north, often in a hurry. That’s exactly when the wrong fuel goes in.

Don’t start the engine. Call us and we’ll come out to the car in and around Newmarket, at any hour, to drain the tank, flush the lines and get you on your way.

What went in the tank?

We drain and flush all four misfuels in Newmarket, 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 do
  • Diesel 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 do
  • AdBlue in the diesel tank

    AdBlue doesn’t burn and attacks metal parts. The tank is emptied and flushed before it can set.

    What to do
  • Screenwash in the AdBlue tank

    Easy to do when the caps sit side by side. The AdBlue tank is drained and flushed through.
