Where is the drain plug on my fuel tank?

We rarely see cars with drain plugs today, and do not recommend trying to mess with the fuel tank if you are unsure. Try calling our roadside assistance on 0481011117, or a tow truck to take your car to a mechanic.

What if I'm unsure of what type of fuel I've put in my vehicle?

Understanding AdBlue in diesel vehicles

​

AdBlue can sometimes be added by mistake to the fuel system, please understand that AdBlue is not a fuel additive, it has a separate tank and is not to be added to the fuel system, as it's an exhaust fluid designed to decrease harmful emissions. If you have added it to the fuel tank do not switch on the ignition.
