Mobile fuel drains across Norwich
Norwich has plenty of supermarket and retail park fuel stations where a quick top-up can go wrong. If it does, don’t drive off to “burn it off”: that’s how a cheap drain turns into a new fuel pump.

Leaving the engine off keeps the wrong fuel in the tank, where it can be drained cleanly. That’s the difference between a drain and a new fuel pump.
- Keep the ignition off. Even turning the key far enough to light the dashboard starts the electric fuel pump, which draws the wrong fuel into the lines and the engine.
- Keep the car where it is. Don’t drive it. If it’s blocking a pump, put it in neutral and push it by hand into a parking bay.
- Don’t top up with the right fuel. Adding fresh fuel won’t dilute the mix enough to protect a high-pressure pump.
- Call us straight away. Tell us where you are and what went in, and we’ll send the nearest van.

The A47 southern bypass, the A11 towards Thetford and Broadland Northway (the A1270) are fast dual carriageways where our van can’t work, slip roads included. If the car stops on one of them, have it recovered to a filling station or a car park off the junction, and call us from there.

Is it OK to drive a little way if I’ve only put a bit of petrol in my diesel?
No. Even a small amount of petrol strips the lubrication a diesel pump needs. Leave the engine off and call us; draining it before it runs is the cheapest fix.
Do you cover Wymondham, Costessey and Sprowston?
Yes, as well as Hellesdon, Thorpe St Andrew, Taverham and the other villages around Norwich.
How much is a wrong fuel drain in Norwich?
The three most common mix-ups (petrol in diesel, diesel in petrol and AdBlue in the fuel tank) have a set starting price, shown on this page. For the others we give you a fixed price on the phone. Either way, you know the price before the van sets off.
How quickly can you get to me in Norwich?
Our vans are based around the country and usually reach you within 30 to 60 minutes. Most cars are back on the road within 45 to 60 minutes of the van arriving.
