Fuel Contamination Drain-Off

What to do if you put the wrong fuel in your car?

The main thing to do is to make sure that your key is out of the ignition.

You’re probably still at the petrol station, so now do two things:

  1. Alert the staff to your situation
  2. Call CIC Autos MOT Centre Ltd on 0191 487 4717 and we’ll be able to help you out

If you’ve already driven off, pull over as soon as you can safely do so and again, get in touch with CIC Autos MOT Centre Ltd.

We have all the equipment required at our workshop in Gateshead, to safely drain off the contaminated fuel and make sure that any residues are cleared out of your fuel system, and get you back on the road, promptly and safely.

A well-respected, popular independent garage in Gateshead, CIC Autos MOT Centre Ltd provides a full range of quality garage services from general vehicle repairs to MOTs (classes 1, 2 and 4), and warranty and post-warranty vehicle servicing.
