Fuel Contamination Drain-Off – Wigan

What do you do if you put the wrong fuel in your van? 

  1. Don’t start your van. If you turn the ignition on, that’s when you risk doing serious damage to the vehicle. Take your keys out of the ignition straight away.
  2. Get your van somewhere safe. Put it into neutral and hopefully, there’ll be someone at the petrol station who can help you to push your van into a safe location.
  3. Call The Van Mechanics. We can drain off and safely dispose of the fuel for you, we’ll then flush out the fuel system to ensure there are no remnants of the contaminated fuel left. Then, you’re good to go.
