Misfuelled in Woodbridge? We come to you.
Woodbridge, Melton and Martlesham sit along the A12, with busy forecourts and supermarket fuel stations either side of the bypass. If you have just filled up with the wrong fuel anywhere around here, leave the engine off and call us.
We’ll come out to the car, drain the tank and flush the fuel system on the spot, so you don’t need a tow or a garage booking.
Call 07904 731886What went in the tank?
We drain and flush all four misfuels in Woodbridge, at the roadside.
Petrol in a diesel car
Don’t run it: petrol thins out the diesel that lubricates the pump. We drain, flush and refuel with diesel.
What to doDiesel in a petrol car
Diesel won’t ignite in a petrol engine and coats the plugs. We purge it before it does damage.
What to doAdBlue in the diesel tank
AdBlue in the fuel tank is urgent: it crystallises in filters and lines. We extract it and flush the tank.
What to doScreenwash in the AdBlue tank
Screenwash can trip emissions warnings. We drain the AdBlue tank and flush the system.
