Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers
Not covered here? Ring the workshop and ask. It is quicker than reading forums.
No. It’s best not to start the engine, as this could cause more damage.
Most fuel drains take around 45 to 60 minutes once the process starts.
If the engine hasn’t been started, damage is unlikely. We’ll fully flush and test the system before handing the car back.
Some policies do cover misfuelling. It’s best to check with your insurer directly.
