Skoda Fabian fuel drained at tesco filling station in Port Glasgow

A recent callout saw the team from Fuel Drain Experts attend a Tesco filling station in Port Glasgow after a driver accidentally put the wrong fuel into their Skoda Fabia. The customer had filled their diesel Fabia with petrol before realising the mistake at the pump. Fortunately, they did not start the engine and immediately contacted Fuel Drain Experts for help. Our mobile fuel drain technician arrived promptly at the Port Glasgow Tesco site and carried out a complete fuel drain and system flush on the vehicle. Around 25 litres of contaminated fuel were safely removed using our specialist equipment, and the tank was then refilled with clean diesel. After a final system check, the Skoda Fabia was running smoothly again, and the driver was able to continue their journey without any damage or delay. Putting petrol into a diesel car is one of the most common motoring mistakes, and if not handled quickly, it can cause costly engine damage. Starting or driving the vehicle can circulate the incorrect fuel through the fuel system, damaging injectors, pumps, and filters.
