So on Friday on my way to work I mis-fueled my 1.4 TDCi Fiesta.

The worst part is I didn't notice and Drove to work. On my way home I realised and pulled over.

Called the RAC, They Sent out a Recovery Truck from Elite Recovery in Falkirk.

They charged me £200 to Drain The Fuel (Full Tank), Flush the Fuel Line, Install a new Fuel and Oil Filter and give me 10 Litres of Diesel.

I feel ripped off since its not a difficult thing to do to be honest.

As far as I'm aware everything checked out fine and theres no lasting damage to the car.

Overall a very expensive mistake I don't plan on making again!

After filling up with Diesel again the overall cost was about £290

£40 Unleaded

£200 Repair

£50 Diesel

It could have turned out alot worse than it did to be honest.

Might sound expensive but what cheaper alternative?

A local garage to me does it for £150

£50 extra for the privilege of being sorted on side of road, sure your local would have charged extra to recover your car if you had broke down at home? Don't get me wrong, I agree its a lot of money , expensive mistake. I had to drain diesel out of a petrol Toyota a few days ago, how she managed that I don't know as diesel pump nozzle bigger than filler neck.lol
