About Misfueling Your Car/Van

SOME REASONS FOR MISFUELING

Two or more shared vehicles in the family (petrol and diesel) 

Incorrect or badly signed forecourt pumps 

Purchasing your first Diesel Car/ Van 

Loaning the vehicle to spouse 

Vehicle rental companies 

Fleet operators 

Got Breakdown Cover?- Think Again!

The Breakdown Services may not cover your costs for this error and you will be charged for the Misfuel Company to drain your tank.  Although the breakdown service will send a misfuel vehicle to you, you will be liable for all the charges except recovery of the vehicle. Most new Diesels have a anti-siphon device so you cannot even siphon the fuel out yourself.

Your Vehicle Warranty- Void!

That's correct!! If you put petrol into your diesel vehicle you automatically void

any warranty outstanding on your new vehicle!

Turn The Key & The Damage Can Be Very Expensive!

Once you accidentally fill up with Petrol you may get away with a tank drain from the engine costing around £200.00- still very expensive and frustratingly embarrassing. Turn the key and the remaining Diesel will run through the fuel line.....Followed by the Petrol. The petrol enters the engine and the damage is done! You could be looking at anything up to £8,000 worth of damage! 

£750 million down the drain Annually

Misfueling has doubled in the UK over the last ten years.

7.5 million litres of fuel is recycled through waste management companies and the end product is used to power cement kilns and furnaces for example.

We are presently researching the true scale of misfueling- how many people are actually draining there own tanks and disposing of the fuel illegally as well as local garages that are undertaking this work.
