Fuel Contamination Drain-Off

Have you put petrol in a diesel car?

First of all, don’t panic. Help is at hand. If you’re in Chorley, get on the phone with Autocentre straight away and we’ll be able to help you.

What you mustn’t do is try to drive your car when it’s contaminated with the wrong fuel as this can cause serious and expensive damage. Don’t even turn the ignition key, as even though this won’t start the engine, it will switch on the dashboard lights which start the fuel pump.

What you should do is inform the petrol station staff – they might help you push your car out of the way – then, get in touch with our team. At Autocentre, we can drain off the wrong fuel, flush out the fuel system to remove any residues, and get you back on the road with minimum fuss.

Autocentre is proud to have over 500 five-star Google reviews from drivers from across Chorley and the surrounding areas of Euxton, Coppull, Adlington, Astley Village and Buckshaw Village. We are a member of HEVRA, the network of independent garages that are vetted to ensure they have the correct equipment, tools, and technical qualifications to work safely on electric and hybrid models, and we are also suppliers of Pagid brake products, a world-leading brand specialising in advanced braking systems.
