Red diesel in the tank in Preston

Short answer

Red diesel in a road vehicle is a legal problem as well as a mechanical one. It is drained, flushed and disposed of under licence.

Anywhere in Preston, a unit attends the vehicle where it stands. Typically 1-2 hours on site, and the price is agreed with you on the phone first.

Do not start the engine, and do not drive to a garage. Moving the vehicle is what turns a drain into a repair.

In Preston, as everywhere, the mistake is built into the forecourt rather than the driver. The nozzle fits, and that is most of the story. The volume matters less than the concentration, and the concentration matters less than whether you turned the key.

What has happened so far?

Pick the one that fits. It is the only question that changes the answer.
