Acocks Green is about 3 miles from the M6 (Rugby to Carlisle) and the M42 about 4 miles away. Motorway fuel stops are where most misfuels happen — tired drivers, unfamiliar cars, pumps in a different order from your usual station.
Nearby service areas we regularly attend: Hopwood Park (M5 J2 M42, 9 miles); Frankley (M5 J3–4, 9 miles); Corley (M6 J3–4, 11 miles). If you've misfuelled there, stay on the forecourt or move into the car park — don't drive.
Our Acocks Green technicians also cover Yardley, Hall Green, Sparkhill, Stechford, Solihull and the roads between.
Petrol in diesel in Acocks Green
The most common misfuel we see in Acocks Green. Petrol strips the lubrication a diesel's high-pressure pump relies on, so the golden rule is simple: leave the engine off. Our technician drains the tank, flushes the system, adds 10 litres of fresh diesel and tests the car before leaving. More about petrol in diesel.
Diesel in petrol in Acocks Green
Rarer, because the diesel nozzle is wider, but it happens — especially with vans and older cars. Diesel won't burn in a petrol engine and will foul the plugs. Same fix: engine off, call us, drained and refuelled at the roadside. More about diesel in petrol.
