Petrol in Diesel help across Hampshire
Our technicians are out across Hampshire around the clock, covering Southampton, Portsmouth and Basingstoke and everywhere in between.
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.
Breakdowns on the A3(M), A34 and M3 are reached quickly, and we attend lay-bys, services and car parks as well as forecourts.

Petrol in Diesel in Hampshire: FAQs
I put petrol in my diesel in Hampshire. Can I drive to a garage?
No. Driving circulates petrol through the pump and injectors. Leave it switched off and we'll come to 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.
How quickly can you get to me in Hampshire?
Most call-outs across Hampshire are reached in 20 to 90 minutes, depending on traffic and where you are.
