Put the wrong fuel in your car in Greenwich? Whether you have filled a diesel with petrol or a petrol with diesel at a Greenwich forecourt, on your driveway, or out on a nearby A-road, the single most important thing is this: do not start the engine and do not turn on the ignition. K9 Recovery and Transport runs a fast, 24/7 wrong fuel recovery service across Greenwich and the surrounding area, with a vetted local driver on the way to you. Any time, any place, any vehicle, any situation.
What to do right now
The moment you realise you have misfuelled, keep the car switched off. As soon as the ignition is turned on, the fuel pump circulates the wrong fuel through the system, turning a simple drain into a bill that can run into thousands. Keep it off and you keep the damage contained.
- Do not start the engine or turn the key to the ignition position.
- Put it in neutral with the handbrake on and, if safe, move clear of traffic.
- Call us with your Greenwich location and the fuel you put in.
Roadside fuel draining in Greenwich
In most cases we fix a misfuel at the roadside in Greenwich without moving the car at all. Our driver drains the contaminated fuel, flushes the lines and refills with the correct fuel so you can get on your way. If the engine was never started, that is usually all it takes, and it is far cheaper than the alternative.
If you have already driven it
If the engine has run and there is a risk to the fuel pump or injectors, the safe move is recovery to a garage rather than a gamble on the road. Our breakdown recovery service will flatbed your car to a garage of your choice. If it is broken down or at risk, we can move it.

Wrong fuel in Greenwich: FAQs
I have put petrol in my diesel in Greenwich but not started it. Am I okay?
Very likely, yes. If the ignition has not been switched on, the fuel is sitting in the tank and has not circulated. A roadside drain and flush should sort it with no lasting harm. Call before you touch anything.
How fast can you reach me in Greenwich?
We are 24/7 with drivers right across Greenwich and the surrounding area, so one is usually close by. Give us your exact location and we will send the nearest available driver.
Is diesel in a petrol car as serious?
It is usually less damaging than petrol in a diesel, but it still needs draining. The safe rule for either is the same: do not start the engine and call us.
Do I need to be a member?
No. There is no membership and no annual fee. You pay a keen one-off price for the job, and that is it.
