What Is Wrong Fuel Rescue?
Wrong fuel rescue is the safe removal of incorrect fuel from your vehicle, followed by flushing your fuel system to prevent engine damage. Using specialised mobile equipment, we remove the wrong fuel, clean the lines and ensure your vehicle is safe to drive again.
We can help with:
- Petrol in diesel vehicles
Petrol reduces lubrication in diesel engines and can cause major damage if driven. We drain and flush before problems occur.
- Diesel in petrol vehicles
Diesel can clog fuel systems in petrol cars and lead to misfiring. We remove it safely and restore proper function.
- Contaminated or mixed fuel
Whether it’s the wrong blend or poor-quality fuel, we’ll clean the tank and fuel lines to avoid engine issues.
- AdBlue mistakenly added to the fuel tank
AdBlue is not a fuel additive and can damage components if it enters the tank. We remove it before it reaches the engine.
Acting quickly helps reduce the risk of long-term damage and keeps your repair bill low.

What to Do if You’ve Put the Wrong Fuel in Your Car
If you’ve misfuelled, don’t panic. Acting quickly can prevent costly damage. Follow these steps:
- Do not start the engine
Starting the car can circulate the wrong fuel through the system, increasing the risk of serious engine damage.
- Turn off the ignition immediately
If the key is already in or the engine is running, switch it off as soon as possible to stop any fuel movement.
- Avoid unlocking the car repeatedly
In some modern vehicles, unlocking triggers the fuel pump to prime automatically. Minimising this reduces fuel flow.
- Call Mobile Mechanic Penrith right away
The sooner we arrive, the sooner we can safely drain and flush the system, helping you avoid further damage or towing.
Common Signs You’ve Put the Wrong Fuel in Your Vehicle
Not sure if you’ve made a fuelling mistake? These symptoms may suggest wrong fuel in your car:
- Engine struggling to start or misfiring
Incorrect fuel can prevent proper ignition, making it hard for your engine to start or run smoothly.
- Jerking, stalling or hesitation while driving
The engine may cut out or hesitate under load due to poor combustion or fuel system imbalance.
- Loss of power or poor acceleration
Wrong fuel can disrupt the air-fuel mix, causing sluggish performance and reduced engine response.
- Excessive smoke or odd smells from the exhaust
Contaminated fuel may burn improperly, producing thick smoke or unusual odours while driving.
- Unusual knocking or engine noises
A mismatched fuel type can lead to knocking, rattling or other strange engine sounds as components are affected.
If you suspect the wrong fuel, stop driving and contact us right away. Driving further may circulate the fuel and cause greater damage.
