Guide

How much does it cost to fix wrong fuel in a car?

Typical UK costs for a mobile wrong fuel drain, what pushes the price up, and how much driving on the wrong fuel can cost in repairs.

Mobile drain

Expect a fixed price of roughly £150–£300 for a car where the engine hasn't been started, including fuel and disposal. Ours is published on our prices page.

What adds cost

Running the engine (extra flushing and often a filter), AdBlue contamination, large tanks, or needing recovery off a motorway first.

Repairs after driving on

Replacing a diesel high-pressure pump, injectors and lines at a dealer can cost several thousand pounds. Stopping early is the biggest saving you can make.
