Petrol in Diesel help across East Sussex
From Lewes, Bexhill and Crowborough to the smallest village, our East Sussex technicians reach most call-outs within the hour.
Diesel engines rely on the fuel itself to lubricate the high-pressure pump and injectors. Petrol is a solvent, so even a few litres strips that lubrication and can grind metal parts together within minutes of running. Caught early, it is a straightforward drain and flush; driven on, it can mean a new pump, injectors and fuel lines.
If you're stuck near the A27, A23 and A22, tell us the junction or services and we'll find you.

How much petrol is too much in a diesel?
Any amount is worth draining. Modern common-rail diesels are far less tolerant than older engines.
Will my insurance cover petrol in diesel?
Many policies cover misfuelling. We give you an itemised invoice to claim with.
