How we fix itWrong fuel in Rugby? We drain it where you are
Rugby sits in the middle of the motorway network, so a lot of drivers stop here for fuel. If you’ve filled up with the wrong fuel in or around Rugby, leave the engine off and call us: we’ll drain it where it’s parked. Open 24/7, usually with you in 30 to 60 minutes.
Mobile fuel drains across Rugby
The distribution parks around Rugby and Lutterworth mean lots of vans and fleet vehicles, and fleet drivers swapping between petrol and diesel vehicles is a common cause of misfuelling. We drain vans and fleet cars the same way as private cars.

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.
