Wrong fuel in Prestwick?

Leave the key alone

Wrong fuel in Prestwick: do not start the engine, and call 01295 380724. A unit attends KA9 and the rest of Kilmarnock, drains the tank where the vehicle stands, flushes the lines and refills with clean fuel. Typically 45 to 90 minutes on site.

The vehicle is not moved. That is the point of a mobile drain, and it is also what protects the fuel system.

Around Kilmarnock the common thread is an unfamiliar vehicle: a hire car, a van, a first tank after changing cars. Two drivers with the same mistake pay very differently, and the difference is driving distance.
