Immediate steps
Do these three things now
- Keep the engine offAvoid turning a tank-only incident into a more involved fuel-system problem.
- Gather the detailsHave the registration, exact location, fuel amounts and engine status ready.
- Confirm the quoteAsk what the quote includes and whether correct fuel or travel is charged separately.
What the starting price includes
The mobile service involves assessing the incident, removing contaminated fuel and flushing the system as appropriate to the vehicle and circumstances. Enough correct fuel can be added to help get you moving, but that replacement fuel is charged separately.
Removed fuel is handled for responsible disposal through a registered disposal company. The exact process can vary because access to the tank and the effect of starting the engine are not the same on every vehicle.
What can change the final quote?
A useful quote needs more than the phrase “wrong fuel”. The team will normally ask for the following details before confirming attendance.
- Vehicle registration, make and model
- Exact location and whether the vehicle is safely accessible
- Wrong fuel added and the correct fuel for the vehicle
- Approximate amount added and what was already in the tank
- Whether the ignition or engine was used, or the vehicle was driven
- Distance from the available unit and any applicable travel cost
Get the price explained before work starts
Ask for a clear description of the expected work and the charging basis. The published wording should remain visible: from £119 + fuel, with travel costs potentially applying. A longer-distance Scotland call-out may cost more to reach than a local Fife response.
The cheapest response is not always the one that protects the vehicle or gets it moving safely. Compare what is included, whether the operator is insured and how the contaminated fuel will be handled—not only the headline number.

No. Enough correct fuel can be added to help get the vehicle moving, but the fuel is charged separately.
Can I get a quote before the van attends?
