MISFUELLING
If someone realises they have misfuelled, they should ideally NOT start the engine but call us on 07833310219 or 08454689829 for advice. Serious damage to your engine could result from misfuelling and petrol or diesel contamination
- There are an estimated 150,000 misfuels in the UK each year
- 95% of them are people putting petrol into diesel vehicles due to the wider diesel filler neck and narrower unleaded nozzle
- Growing problem over last five years due to the high sales of diesel cars, improved and refined diesel engine technology and the rise of multi-car ownership
- Largely a UK problem - continental Europe has had a higher penetration of diesel cars for longer, so it's not as big an issue
- Can be very expensive for some vehicle owners: manufacturers often recommend change of parts (as high as £5,000+) and garages often charge £300+ for a fuel drain.
Wrong Fuel Removal has a swift and reliable fuel drain system to remove incorrect fuels from car, van & truck tanks including safe disposal of the contaminated fuel.
- Empty fuel tanks cost motorists much time, delayed journeys, traffic hold-ups and damage fuel systems when running 'dry'
- Fill up at the start of your journey and have an idea of your vehicles consumption to plan service/petrol station refills and rest stops.

Hi Alan.
A little overdue, but here goes.
After an infuriating stint dealing with the AA which left us standing on the M6 for 4 hours, only to be told I needed to cough up £280 and wait a further 4 hours for the fuel team to arrive, Alan came to our rescue.
Straight forward, friendly and professional even at 10.30pm at night. After fuelling £86 of petrol into my diesel engine, Alan got to work cleaning it out but not before impressing us with his life long battery as ours had died!!
The car is in perfect working order and we were able to reach our destination eventually. Will always recommend.

After letting him know what I'd done he said he would ring me back after finishing another call out. As good as his word he rang back, arranged to meet me at the car and got me back on the road within 30 mins. Excellent service and a lovely man. Highly recommended

Our daughter accidently put £30 of petrol into a courtesy car she had been loaned after 9pm at night. I found a website for this and rang and spoke to Alan who came out promptly and fixed the problem. His reviews are excellent and justifiably so. He was a true gentleman and could not have been more kind and helpful. We would highly recommend him although we of course hope never to need his help again!!

I called Alan the wrong fuel man, fortunately he was able to come out within 2 hours and carry out a very professional service at a very good price. Travis(the staffy dog) also found a very nice friend. Top Bloke would definitely recommend Cheers Gary

Alan came out after I put petrol in our diesel camper van a few weeks ago in Llandudno Junction at about 11pm. I really thought our old Ford Ravenna was going to see the end given its age and the fact I had then driven it til it broke down.
Alan was really relaxed with my stressed phone calls, and then a really reassuring and clear communicator when he arrived to find us on a dark quiet industrial estate at midnight. He then followed us to the petrol station to make sure we were sorted.
Hopefully won’t have to but wouldn’t hesitate to use Alan again!
Thanks

Alan had my Wildtrak back on the road within 90 minutes of attending at my home address. I had stupidly put Adblue in my fuel tank and started the engine - something I was hugely confident I would never do…!
I contacted WrongFuelRemoval and Alan called me back shortly after. He kept me updated as to when he would attend, drained my tank, sorted the issue, and then followed me to the petrol station whilst I refuelled and made it safely home. A gentleman and a magician! Thank you Alan.

After a misfuel this morning, I looked online to find someone to help. I saw Wrong Fuel Removal and gave them a ring. I spoke to Alan and he gave me a quote. I had been expecting to pay over £200 by what I'd seen quoted for other companies so was pleasantly surprised by Alan's quote. He said he'd be with me within an hour and a half and he was. He provided a very professional service, explaining what he was doing and that my car would be fine. My car was running again within half an hour. Very impressed and I would highly recommend him.
Thanks again,

After speaking to Alan over the phone and explaining the situation (unleaded in my diesel)in my Mercedes ML, he said he could be there within the hour. Sure enough within the hour Alan was there, setting up his equipment. He was confident that there would be no major problems once the contaminated fuel was removed and he'd replaced it with the diesel he had brought with him. He was right! Car started up and running smoothly within half an hour. Excellent and much cheaper than other quotes I had received.He was very kind and professional on his job and customer service so I'm glad to be phoned him. Highly recommended.
Many thanks,

Hi Alan,
So glad I phoned you. You gave me impartial advice on the phone which could have lost you a job. Having had time to think and get further advice I decide to ask you to come to my place. You arrived when you said you could, which was quick. You carried out the procedure with professionalism and good humour. You obviously know your stuff.
It was a pleasure to meet you and I have no trouble to recommended your services to anyone who makes this error. Oh and the cost was very reasonable and well worth it considering the costly damage that could occur.
Regards,

Hi Alan
Thank you so very much for being my fuel removal hero. I’ve been driving for 30 years and I’ve never put the wrong fuel in my car before so couldn’t believe it when I was told I had.
I contacted you to ask for a quote and within a few hours you replied.
You came out within the 45 minute drive and sorted out the draining of my tank and gave me some honest and money saving advice.
Thank you very much.
I was back on the road with fuel you brought with you to get me to a garage. So again saved me money by me not having to buy a diesel can.
Honest, trustworthy, quick response and a very reliable service.
I hope I don’t need you again but I will highly recommend you and your genuine service. A definitely 10/10 from me.

DO NOT DOUBT/ call him out.
Well . . . What a service, after filling up with the wrong fuel, and feeling like a complete d**k, I found a this man online and after reading his reviews gave him a call.
It was long into the evening but he came out right away and fixed me.
Was charged the price quoted on the phone, and what a lovely guy Alan is, he was calm and reassuring, and it done within the hour!
I would recommend anyone with the same problem to call him, a thoroughly nice, decent human! Many many thanks Alan much appreciated.

Hi Alan,
Many thanks for helping me today,can't thank you enough.quick,friendly,affordable service.
You really are a genuine man .i rang my insurer and was quoted £225 just to drain my petrol.
Your quote was the best I had and I rang many believe me!
If anyone ever needs a petrol drainage I infinite % recommend Alan.
It's was raining outside when he arrived typical Saturday northwest weather and he said leave me the keys and you go inside and I'll call you in 20mins.
I was abit apprehensive leaving my keys with a stranger and leaving the car parked behind the house with Alan but I put my trust in him which I do not do at all.very trustworthy!!!
Friendly chat also about our pets and in general
Don't ring anyone else if you find yourself in bother.

Thanks for the speedy turn round. I had put half a tank of petrol in my
diesel tank then driven about 5 miles before realising.
Phoned Alan given a time which he turned up spot on. drained the fuel
and put in ten LTR's and gave me the injector cleaner.
All this for a reasonable price, taking into account the disposal of the
contaminated fuel, his fuel time etc. Just over two hours from call to
finish

Thank you for your swift, super friendly and professional service.
Like many others on this page, distracted by life’s busy nonsenses I filled my wife’s car up with Petrol instead of Diesel, checking google with horror wondering what damage I had caused to my wife’s car by driving the mile home from the petrol station.
Found Alan by chance scrolling through to look how to remedy the problem and seeking a little solace in professional advice.
Called whilst Alan was helping out on another Job and within the hour he was at my door as promised (despite it being 2220 at night), 40 minutes later and some great stories shared Alan allayed my fears and pulled me out of the doghouse!! Car running - no warning lights showing all hopefully back to normal after an expensive drink!!
Can’t recommend his service enough and it was a good £100 cheaper than I had been quoted elsewhere. He even gave me some diesel to get me back on the road.
Thanks Alan take care!!

Can't thank you enough
I've been driving 35 years and done hundreds of thousands of miles
For the first time yesterday I put petrol in my diesel car, rushing about lacked concentration and driven home
Went to restart and realised what I'd done
I phoned Alan from his simple ad 'We won't be beaten on price'
His attitude on the phone was great and I thought no need to phone any others
He came out at the first opportunity and is a really nice genuine bloke
Solved the problem and my car is no worse for the experience
I can't recommended highly enough
Definitely a 5* service

Hi Alan
I just want to say a massive thank you for helping with our misfueling.
I called Alan after my dad had put diesel in his petrol car.
Alan gave me honest advice and rather than me spending a big chunk of money for no reason he told us what to do and how to resolve it without having to drain the fuel. This was because of the car type and how little diesel he had put it. Alan reassured myself and my father and was willing to come and help in anyway he could. He was incredible in every way and I cannot recommend him enough. His services are amazing. He is a genuine honest decent man and I can’t thank him enough for all his help

Hi Alan,
I just wanted to say a big thank you for coming out to me so late at night last week. As you know, I was badly let down by a national company who kept me waiting for an hour and 40 minutes, then told me that they wouldn’t be able to come after all as the mechanic had disappeared and just told me to find someone else! I was very cold and upset and thought I would be there all night, but thank goodness I found your number. I am very grateful to you for dropping everything and getting to me as quick as you could. You did a fantastic job, and you were much cheaper than the other company who failed to turn up – I just wish I had rung you in the first place Thanks again,

After realising £35 later, that I had put unleaded in my diesel car, I hadn't started it but I was in a fit of panic over what to do, and upset over the damage I had caused my car. I called my Renault, who quoted an extortionate amount just to the tow the car, and would take a couple of days to drain. Thankfully after some advice from friends I got told to call a firm who then put me through to Alan, who covers my area.
Within 10 minutes Alan called, to say he would be there within 40 minutes and would fix my car.
Sure enough 40 minutes later he arrived, and set to work, due to my awkward fuel tank entrance, he had to use a smaller hose than normal so it took a little longer than usual. But sure enough 40 minutes later, the car was completely drained (phew) and assured no damage was done!! Alan, brought me some diesel with him, as he suspected the petrol station closed at 10.00 pm, and then followed me to the nearest open petrol station to ensure I had filled up and the car was fine.
Cannot rate this guy enough, fixed the problem in a calm and professional manner in a exceptionally reasonable amount of time, and a very competitive price.
If it happens again (which I hope it doesn't) I know Alan will be my first point of call.

After filling up with petrol instead if diesel and driving for at least half a mile before stopping I was extremely worried about the damage and cost of getting my car up and running again. Alan from Wrong Fuel Removal reassured me that he could get the car back up and running and would be with me that same day. He arrived promptly and was a very polite and easy going chap, he got me up and running again in less than an hour and even followed me to the nearest petrol station to ensure the car re-started after filling up with the correct fuel! Excellent service, can definitely recommend.

After returning from a holiday break, I committed the age old classic trick of filling up with the same fuel I had been using whilst away! An expensive mistake, but made easier and more bearable by the fantastic care, communication and very competitively priced Alan. Will come highly recommended by me, should anyone else find themselves in the same situation. Cheers Alan.

Returning from 2 weeks away in sunny France we mistakenly put £20 worth of unleaded in our Laguna diesel. Alan was very prompt on a Sunday night and got the problem sorted in an hour in rural North Yorkshire - a fantastic response and at very good value He\'s got to be the best around so you don't need to think about looking elsewhere. Very highly recommended. Thanks again Alan.

Alan came out to us on a busy Friday afternoon. We had been waiting over 2 hours for another company to come out before we rang Alan. He was out within 40 minutes and had us back on the road very quick with definitely no mess or fuss. Lesson learnt do not go to these other companies that have fancy website but no idea of customer service or communication. We will be recommending Alan to friends and family if they ever find themselves in this situation.

In a moment of inattention i filled my diesel tank in my motorhome with 30 litres of water. RAC was useless after 4 hours decided that i wasn't covered. I contacted Fuel Removal and Alan arrived within an hour at 9 pm and worked until 3am.
He removed the contmaninated fuel then the fuel tank and carefully cleaned out all the residual water that would have damaged my engine.He was very careful and dilligent, pleasant and tough; it wasnt an easy job on the ground in the dark.
I would recommend him with a great deal of confidence.

After putting in half a tank's worth of unleaded to fill my DIESEL Rover on a Bank Holiday Monday evening, the prospects for getting it sorted looked slim, to say the least. After researching and being impressed by the positive comments on this site, I rang Alan and was amazed to find that he was more than happy to turn out that evening to sort the problem out. I can only reiterate other's comments as to his friendly, efficient and wholly professional service at a cost well below some well-known others (RAC wanted a £110 more for just draining the fuel!). Highly reccommended.

Very embarassing after 20 years of driving - however I spoke to Alan and he relieved my fears. Lovely very discreet man - prompt service and very courteous. Highly recommended agreed a price plus whatever fuel you want in your tank at pump price -and it was Sunday - thanks to getting me back on the road - phew and very grateful! I need my car....

After speaking to Alan over the phone and explaining the situation (unleaded in my diesel)he said he could be there within the hour. Sure enough within the hour Alan was there, setting up his equipment. He was confident that there would be no major problems once the contaminated fuel was removed and he'd replaced it with the diesel he had brought with him.
He was right! Car started up and running smoothly within half an hour. Excellent and much cheaper than other quotes I had received. Highly recommended.

I put £30 of Petrol in my diesel freelander 2 and drove it 5 miles home , car juddered a little bit just 200m from home but I didn't think anything of it. 10 mins later went back to car to go out again and it wouldn't start up. I even swore blind to my husband that I was 99.9%sure I had put diesel in as I had gone to the expensive diesel pump first and backed up to the other one...but on opening the cap there was a hiss and it did smell of petrol so I had to concede.My husband wanted to tow it to our garage 10 miles away but I read the reviews on here and thought I would ring. What a genuinely honest and helpful man Alan is. He came on a miserable December Sunday and sorted the car out very efficiently and the cost was very reasonable considering it included fuel with additive. So if you are reading this wondering who to try then I have no hesitation in recommending this man. Thank you once again Alan....I am now going to google for a device to stop me making the same mistake again.

Alan is one of those amazing people that you rarely meet. He sorted a difficult 'wrong fuel' situation out with skill and care and was reassuring from the first call. He followed me on a test run and 'phoned later to check all was well.
Every one should keep his contact details ...even those that never make a mistake!
Thank you Alan !

Husband inadvertently put petrol in his diesel Landrover Freelander. Called Alan after doing a google search and not getting through to the so called big "Names". As the hubbie had to be somewhere else, he took my car and left me to sort out the problem. Alan arrived by the said he would and promptly got to work, my sole input was to provide him with a cup of tea! As others have stated the driveway was protected by mats all the time and Alan was methodical and efficient throughout and despite the Freelander being a particularly awkward mark, Alan had it back on the road with no (fingers crossed)lasting issues, including resetting the onboard computer that was going mad showing a fuel fault.
Would definitely recommend Alan although with the best will in the world, I hope we don't need him again. Needless to say my car wasn't refuelled on return

I very foolishly put 30 litres of unleaded petrol into my Freelander at the pumps on Friday 5th April.....a date which I'll remember for a long time. I only realised my faux pas as the car spluttered along the short distance home. The realisation of what I'd done suddenly dawned and I checked the till receipt when I turned the engine off.
I immediately started googling on my phone and came across the Fuel Doctor. I rang and was given a quote by a chap who was abrupt and very businesslike. He told me I would have to ring back the following day and someone would be with me within an hour, priorities permitting. I thought I'd give the A.A a ring to see if the quote would be any cheaper, however the quote was pretty steep, in excess of £200 so when I eventually got through my front door and recovered from the shock, I started searching the internet to look for alternatives. I am so glad I did. as I found Alan who was an absolute life saver. I rang him on Saturday morning and his lovely reassuring manner was just what I needed. He arranged to call at 12 midday and gave me a more realistic quote. Anyway, he came as promised and got straight to work. Unfortunatey, my 6 year old Freelander had received a good drink of petrol and Alan had already warned me that Freelanders are notoriously tricky to draw fuel from. Having managed to get the fuel out, the car wouldn't fire up and it was really looking like I was in serious trouble. Alan didn't give up at any stage. I don#'t know how he did it, but his perseverance paid off and he brought the car back from the brink of death. He said, my vehicle was the trickiest one he's ever tackled and I really believe if anyone other than Alan had attended, I would have ended up having to get it to a garage and it would have cost me a small fortune. I cannot thank Alan enough and I would recommend him to anyone, an absolute life saver, a truly capable and thoroughly decent bloke.

Alan drove over for over two hours to get to us when 'local' and 'national' services said the conditions were too bad.
Others offered to help for greatly inflated prices telling us that our car (a BMW 520d) was unlikely to recover and generally working to make a bad situation worse.
I can't thank Alan enough for his professionalism and the care that he showed us. We were on our way back to Scotland in 45 minutes and the car was 4mpg better than before!
If you have a choice ring him!

Alan is the Guru. despite my location, being in Kent and out of his area he took the time to explain to me how to resolve the problems. Which had been caused by my fuel removal repairer, who wanted to change injectors etc. The car now runs perfectly, and needed no parts just to follow Alan's guidance. He showed kindness and support, that I would have been delighted to receive as a customer.
He is the person I would recommend. Thank you Robin

My Story/Review,
Late night last night, stop to get milk for the all important morning coffee, grab the diesel pump, Tannoy annoucement demands I pay first! I begrudgingly lock up car, go to the pay point, leave 20 quid deposit, go back to my VW Golf (only just paid off!) and now mistakenly put in 20 litres of unleaded into my precious car!!! Leave the forecourt, head home (1 mile) without realising, get 3/4 and the engine power starts dipping, pull to the lights, engine revs are all over the place. I realise my mistake. I drive another 500 meters home very gingerly!!
I Googled "VW GOLF Diesel Unleaded" and read some blogs/articles and began to feel sick. Bills upwards of several thousand had me nauseous! I decided to click on this Google Ad for "wrong fuel removal". BEST DECISION EVER.
I spoke with Alan, even though it was near midnight (I had expected voicemail). He reassured me it would be ok and not be expensive (this took away that horrible anxious feeling). He gave me a quote that made me very pleased, it was an expensive milk run, but incredibly reasonable considering the alternatives! He called in the morning as promised and arrived as arranged. He was very professional, very informative and got to work clearing out the unleaded, flushing the engine and giving me 5 litres of diesel to get on with. A true, nice, genuine bloke, he had my Golf purring again and made me a stress free man again! Thank you Alan, I wish more tradesmen etc were like you.
Wrong Fuel?! I HIGHLY recommend you call Alan

I felt sick when I realised I had driven home with a tank full of petrol instead of diesel and thought of the damage and the cost of repairing my lovely car. I rang and was assured that all would be well. The service was very quick (early Sunday morning too), very competitive and just as I was told my car is 100% OK (I did use a fuel additive the first couple of times I filled up afterwards). Thanks for rescuing me in my time of need - totally recommended!

So, our diesel 2002 VW Passat TDI (V6) got filled with unleaded for the 3rd time!
It was pretty much empty when it was filled with £15.00 of unleaded.
The car was driven until it stopped.
At this point the fuel problem wasn't noticed.
Green Flag recovered the car and diagnosed the problem as being a faulty turbo.
After some checking it was discovered that the problem was actually that it'd been filled with unleaded.
I was totally gutted about this because on both previous occasions the cost of getting this sorted was well over £900.00. To make matters worse I was supposed to be driving to the a festival later that week.
After a bit of searching I came accross Alans website.
In all honesty I really wasn't sure if attempting to repair a problem that had previously been unrepairable was a good use of my resources... When this happened before, parts were (allegedly) replaced and the last thing in the world I wanted to do was spend good money trying to fix something that couldn't be fixed.
I weighed up the pros can cons and decided that whatever happens, the unleaded has to be drained and the fee for doing this alone was a very reasonable price.
I also got the impression Alan really did know what he was talking about and although it was possible that this was just a sales tactic, it didn't seem like that was the case.
So, I gave Alan a bell and booked a visit!
To say I was happy with the outcome is an understatement!! I hugged the guy!!!
I arranged to meet Alan at a time that was convenient for me.
Alan came out, was bang on time and quickly set about draining all the unleaded.
He did some other hocus pocus and about 20 mins later asked me to give it a go...
Hey presto!! After a short crank the engine started!!
I've saved a fortune and for the very first time ever I feel like I've dealt with a mechanic without being taken for a ride!
If you make a fuel cockup call Alan - Simple!!
I dread to think what could have happened if I didn't.

After regretibly fueling my brand new car with £20 worth of petrol I didnt know what to do. I was browsing on the net where I came across this site with all the amazing feedback. I rang Alan instantley and he was here within the hour! The service was great along with the price which was cheap considering the mistake that I had made! My advice to anyone whoever makes the same mistake to ring Alan as he saved my car with the great service he had to offer so I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU FROM US!!!!!!

I put unleaded petrol in my diesel tank. I phoned Alan and he told me not to worry and took my details and gave me a quote, which was considerably cheaper than the AA. He came to my home within the hour and drained the tank, cleaned the filter and cleared the fuel pipes. He also followed me to the Petrol Station while a refuelled my car. He was pleasant, friendly and professional. I would recommend Alan to anyone finding themselves in a similar situation.

The most trouble free solution to a troublesome problem I have ever encountered.

Highly recommended, if my wife is ever as stupid as this again he will be the first man to turn to. On a final note, the costs were extremely competative compared to that which our recovery agency were quoting.

My car had a puncture so I borrowed by brother-in-laws car. After using it I wanted to give it back full of fuel. His previous car of the same make/model was a diesel and I just assumed this one was. Oddly enough, the diesel nozzle would fit into the filler - not all the way but far enough. To I topped up with about 10 litres of diesel - into a petrol car!! I drove it about 2 miles home then realised my mistake, so I called Alan. He turned up within 2 hours and took about an hour to drain and flush the system. A grand chap and have had no problems with the car since. Thanks for a great job.

I filled my diesel engine full to the brim with petrol whilst rushing home from work on a Friday night before a weekend away. Drove 15 miles home from the garage without any sign from the car that I had mis-fuelled, however when I tried to start the car sunday night the engine wouldn't even start, then I found the receipt for the full tank of petrol on the passenger seat. I then spent an over hour looking on the internet reading loads of horror stories that because I had started the ignition and drove the car that my whole engine would be wrecked and that I was probably looking at a 4-figure repair bill. I then found Alan + Wrong fuel removal so I gave him a call explained what had happened and he reassured me that it was easily solvable and we arranged for a Monday morning visit. Alan arrived 10 mins before the arranged time and within an hour and with no mess had drained the tank and the fuel lines, got my car started and had followed me to the nearest garage to check there would be no further problems. This was all done for just over £100 pounds and the car has been as good as before. Absolutely brillant service and a friendly service. Would recommend to anyone

There was no mess no more bad news and no problems since. I cannot recomend Alan more highly and it was worth every penny.
Many thanks.

Alan is a brilliant professional and offers a very valuable service at a fraction of the cost quoted by dealers. He drove on a Friday evening to Leeds to drain my car, a Volvo XC 90 of a full tank of unleaded petrol. He patiently answered my several calls about the process, as the dealer had quoted in excess of £4000 to deal with the wrong fuel, and reassured me that it was not necessary to have any of the parts replaced. Thanks to Alan, my car is running prefectly. August 2011

I filled the tank, put in £50.00 worth of petrol in my Diesel car, on my way home before I realised what I done I rang the AA who quoted me £185.00,this was a discounted cost being a member and that it would be the next morning before they could come. Googled the problem and hit on this site, rang Alan his cost was a lot cheaper than the A.A. and he would come within an a hour. Arrived on time, job took an hour, car as good as new, recommended.

I gave Alan a call, and within the hour, he had arrived and pushed my car from the pump I was blocking to the side of the forecourt. Within two hours of the 'mistake', I was on my way down to Plymouth on a work trip, and have just arrived back having had no problems whatsoever with the car.

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you, Alan. As a driving instructor I'm always so conscious put put in the correct fuel, and can't believe that as a result of just a moments lack of thought it could have cost me hundreds of pounds to have my car drained at my Toyota main dealer. I'm glad that I found you! I'm so grateful that you drove over an hour to sort my car out, and at a fraction of the cost that I would have had to pay at the dealer. Your knowledge and experience is obviously immense, and I felt really confident leaving my car in your capable hands. To anyone out there reading this, put your trust in Alan; he does a good, professional job, and at much less than you'd have to pay at a main dealer. Thanks once again.

WOW! I can't believe the service I have just received from Alan. His quote was cheaper than everyone else by some distance, he arrived prompt, provided a great service and saved me a lot of money and hassle. I wouldn't think twice about using him again or recommend him to family and friends. Alan is a decent, hard working tradesman who is not in this to rip people off and provides a high quality service. Many thanks Alan.

Great service from Alan. I put petrol in my diesel car and I was struggling to find a garage that could help in a timely manner. Most garages wanted me to recover the car and then the usual "damaged parts! expect it to be expensive" comment. I needed some help. Alan gave me reassurance that the problem could be resolved with no fuss and it was. From my call to Alan at 3pm on a Friday the car was reusable by 9pm the same day. Many thanks - Graham

I was absolutely gutted when I inadvertently put £20 worth of petrol in my wife's 12 month old diesel car. She was most understanding, threw her arms around me and said, "don't worry darling, accidents will happen". Now back to the truth; after she'd finished cursing me in front of everyone on the forecourt, we decided to drive the car the 3 miles back home. (I know we shouldn't have driven it but I just needed to escape from all those sniggering onlookers).
This was the first time anything like this had happened to us and we were at a total loss what to do. We spent some on the internet and soon came across Alan's web page. We rang him at 08.45 on the Sunday morning and was amazed when he said, he would be with us by 12.30pm after completing another job in Bradford.
True to his word he arrived on time and got to work immediately. He placed a protective mat on our driveway and was able to drain the contaminated fuel direct from the engine fuel line. He refilled the tank with 20 litres of uncontaminated diesel and the car started immediately. There was no mess, no fuss and the work was completed satisfactorily in no time at all at a fraction of the cost of a main dealer.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Alan to anyone. He is a real pro and an expert in his job. We new from our first contact with him what the cost would be; there was no hidden extras and my wife's car now drives as good as new. He is a true gentleman.
Once again, many thanks for all your help Alan, and for pulling us out of the s*** (soup).

Alan quickly responded to my online query and followed-up with a phone call. He agreed to come out to my car early this morning and his quote was very competitive. He drained the fuel tank, flushed the system with diesel and put additive in the tank. He filled up the tank with diesel and then started the car. He waited with me for several minutes and even followed me home to make sure that I had no problems.
He provided an excellent and highly efficient service - I have no hesitation in recommending him to others including my friends and family. Many thanks!

Thanks to Alan, my 3 month old car was put right within hours after I filled up at the wrong pump.I didn't even realise what I had done at the time and drove home. Found this site when I 'googled' my problem, and Alan was on his way (on a bank holiday) before I confessed to my husband.Divorce averted ! Thanks again Alan.

Big thanks Alan for your speedy, professional and efficient service and for your consideration in getting to me quickly. You give me no option but to give you the highest recommendation. Everything worked exactly as you had outlined beforehand and this gives me great confidence in using you again. Oh!, I nearly forgot, you were also the cheapest. I'll be keeping you card safe - just in case I need you in the future.

I put £20 of petrol in my diesel car and drove 9 miles home, I went on the internet to see what I could do about it and found this website. The car was sorted within an hour, Alan came all the way to just outside Blackpool at 6.30 this evening, Sunday night. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I told you while you were here you are an angel. Fabulous, quick and professional service.

I completely filled my 65 litre diesel Alfa 159 with unleaded petrol late at night. I called Alan and he arrived within an hour and really took the time necessary to fully drain the tank and flush through the filter. Alan even followed me to a local 24hr garage to make sure everything was okay. I highly recommend using Alan, the service was fast, friendly, and very good value for money.

Amazed and very happy. This guy was with me within 50 minutes of calling. He carried out a full cleaning of the system in about another 50 minutes, even though I had already driven the car about 10 miles then broken down on the road. 110% happy and cost a realistic price not thousands. He even brought 20 litres of diesel and only charged the local forecourt price. brilliant!!!!!

Hi Alan, Thanks for coming so far and so late to take care of my fuel mistake, Was worried with it being so late and the neighbours being kept awake, but he was very quick and quiet and profesional. My car probably not the easiest to sort as i had driven it a couple of times, replaced a crank sensor and fired the poor car up with easy start but Alan had me going in no more than 30 minutes, Very happy saved as alan the fuel legend for future mistakes :). Thanks again

Hi Alan, I just wanted to say a big thank you for coming out to me so late at night last week. As you know, I was badly let down by a national company who kept me waiting for an hour and 40 minutes, then told me that they wouldn’t be able to come after all as the mechanic had disappeared and just told me to find someone else! I was very cold and upset and thought I would be there all night, but thank goodness I found your number. I am very grateful to you for dropping everything and getting to me as quick as you could. You did a fantastic job, and you were much cheaper than the other company who failed to turn up – I just wish I had rung you in the first place Thanks again,

Having wrongly filled my motor homes fuel tank with water I then contacted Alan to explain the problem. He came over and removed the fuel tank from my large Mercedes based motor home drained and cleaned out the tank refitted and filled with fresh diesel started and made sure all was ok, checked for leaks. All in all, a superb job by a man who I would not hesitate to recommend

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you, Alan. As a driving instructor I'm always so conscious put in the correct fuel, and can't believe that as a result of just a moments lack of thought it could have cost me hundreds of pounds to have my car drained at my Toyota main dealer. I'm glad that I found you! I'm so grateful that you drove over an hour to sort my car out, and at a fraction of the cost that I would have had to pay at the dealer. Your knowledge and experience is obviously immense, and I felt really confident leaving my car in your capable hands. To anyone out there reading this, put your trust in Alan; he does a good, professional job, and at much less than you'd have to pay at a main dealer. Thanks once again.

So, our diesel 2002 VW Passat TDI (V6) got filled with unleaded for the 3rd time! It was pretty much empty when it was filled with £15.00 of unleaded. The car was driven until it stopped. At this point the fuel problem wasn't noticed. Green Flag recovered the car and diagnosed the problem as being a faulty turbo. After some checking it was discovered that the problem was actually that it'd been filled with unleaded. I was totally gutted about this because on both previous occasions the cost of getting this sorted was well over £900.00. To make matters worse I was supposed to be driving to a festival later that week. After a bit of searching I came across Alans website. In all honesty I really wasn't sure if attempting to repair a problem that had previously been unrepairable was a good use of my resources... When this happened before, parts were (allegedly) replaced and the last thing in the world I wanted to do was spend good money trying to fix something that couldn't be fixed. I weighed up the pros and cons and decided that whatever happens, the unleaded has to be drained and the fee for doing this alone was a very reasonable price. I also got the impression Alan really did know what he was talking about and although it was possible that this was just a sales tactic, it didn't seem like that was the case. So, I gave Alan a bell and booked a visit! To say I was happy with the outcome is an understatement!! I hugged the guy!!! I arranged to meet Alan at a time that was convenient for me. Alan came out, was bang on time and quickly set about draining all the unleaded. He did some other hocus pocus and about 20 mins later asked me to give it a go... Hey presto!! After a short crank the engine started!! I've saved a fortune and for the very first time ever I feel like I've dealt with a mechanic without being taken for a ride! If you make a fuel cockup call Alan - Simple!! I dread to think what could have happened if I didn't.

After regrettably fuelling my brand-new car with £20 worth of petrol I didn’t know what to do. I was browsing on the net where I came across this site with all the amazing feedback. I rang Alan instantly and he was here within the hour! The service was great along with the price which was cheap considering the mistake that I had made! My advice to anyone whoever makes the same mistake to ring Alan as he saved my car with the great service he had to offer so I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU FROM US!!!!!!

I put £30 of Petrol in my diesel Freelander 2 and drove it 5 miles home, car juddered a little bit just 200m from home but I didn't think anything of it. 10 mins later went back to car to go out again and it wouldn't start up. I even swore blind to my husband that I was 99.9%sure I had put diesel in as I had gone to the expensive diesel pump first and backed up to the other one...but on opening the cap there was a hiss and it did smell of petrol so I had to concede. My husband wanted to tow it to our garage 10 miles away but I read the reviews on here and thought I would ring. What a genuinely honest and helpful man Alan is. He came on a miserable December Sunday and sorted the car out very efficiently and the cost was very reasonable considering it included fuel with additive. So if you are reading this wondering who to try then I have no hesitation in recommending this man. Thank you once again Alan....I am now going to google for a device to stop me making the same mistake again.

After returning from a holiday break, I committed the age-old classic trick of filling up with the same fuel I had been using whilst away! An expensive mistake, but made easier and more bearable by the fantastic care, communication and very competitively priced Alan. Will come highly recommended by me, should anyone else find themselves in the same situation. Cheers Alan.
