Get in from the passenger side if you need to. - ### Stay safe and call Hazard lights on. At a station tell the staff; on the road wear a hi-vis vest and wait behind the barrier. Then call [+49 761 59415165](tel:+4976159415165). ## What happens next - ### Only in the tank If the engine has not run, draining and fresh diesel are usually enough. - ### Engine ran briefly The mix is in filter and lines. We drain, flush and change the filter if needed. - ### Engine ran for long Without lubrication the pump can shed debris into the injectors. A workshop is then usually needed. ## How the job works - ### Call and price Call [+49 761 59415165](tel:+4976159415165). We ask about vehicle, fuel, amount and location and give you the price. - ### Engineer on the way A technician drives to you in a fully equipped service van. - ### Drain and flush The wrong fuel is pumped out, lines and filter are flushed and fresh fuel goes in. - ### Restart and invoice The engine is restarted and checked. You get a VAT invoice; the drained fuel is taken away for disposal. ## Why Fuel Fixer - Even if the engine has run, most jobs are fixed on site. - No tow truck needed – we work where your vehicle stands. - VAT invoice and paperwork for insurers or employers. - Price quoted on the first call, before anyone sets off. - Back on the road the same day in most cases. ## Countries and regions - [Germany](https://falschgetankt.io/en/germany/) - [Austria](https://falschgetankt.io/en/austria/) - [Switzerland](https://falschgetankt.io/en/switzerland/) - [Liechtenstein](https://falschgetankt.io/en/liechtenstein/) - [Luxembourg](https://falschgetankt.io/en/luxembourg/) - [South Tyrol](https://falschgetankt.io/en/south-tyrol/) - [East Belgium](https://falschgetankt.io/en/east-belgium/) - [Alsace and Moselle](https://falschgetankt.io/en/alsace-moselle/) - [North Schleswig](https://falschgetankt.io/en/north-schleswig/) ## Major cities - [Detmold](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/detmold/) - [Leipzig](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/leipzig/) - [Lübeck](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/luebeck/) - [Berlin](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/berlin/) - [Karlsruhe](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/karlsruhe/) - [Neuwied](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/neuwied/) - [Mainz](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/mainz/) - [Kassel](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/kassel/) - [Neustadt am Rübenberge](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/neustadt-am-ruebenberge/) - [Münster (Nordrhein-Westfalen)](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/muenster/) - [Würzburg](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/wuerzburg/) - [Bergisch Gladbach](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/bergisch-gladbach/) - [Hanover](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/hanover/) - [Dresden](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/dresden/) - [Magdeburg](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/magdeburg/) - [Chemnitz](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/chemnitz/) - [Mannheim](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/mannheim/) - [Halle (Saale)](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/halle-saale/) - [Neuss](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/neuss/) - [Cottbus](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/cottbus/) - [Jena](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/jena/) - [Bochum](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/bochum/) - [Goslar](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/goslar/) - [Cologne](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/cologne/) - [Dortmund](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/dortmund/) - [Munich](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/munich/) - [Mülheim an der Ruhr](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/muelheim-an-der-ruhr/) - [Rostock](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/rostock/) - [Herne](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/herne/) - [Regensburg](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/regensburg/) - [Bonn](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/bonn/) - [Augsburg](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/augsburg/) - [Hamburg](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/hamburg/) - [Ulm](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/ulm/) - [Potsdam](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/potsdam/) - [Hildesheim](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/hildesheim/) - [Frankfurt](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/frankfurt/) - [Oberhausen (Nordrhein-Westfalen)](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/oberhausen/) - [Aurich](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/aurich/) - [Ludwigshafen am Rhein](https://falschgetankt.io/en/wrong-fuel/ludwigshafen-am-rhein/) ## Common questions **Does insurance pay?** Usually not: in Germany partial cover (Teilkasko) excludes misfuelling, and many comprehensive policies do too. Check your terms. **Which language is the phone line?** The phone line is run in German. Have your vehicle, fuel type and location ready – short answers are enough. **How much does it cost?** It depends on the vehicle, the amount and whether the engine ran. You get a quote on the phone before we set off. **What is petrol called in Germany?** Super E5, Super E10 and Super Plus are petrol. Diesel is labelled B7, B10 or XTL with a square symbol. ## Sources - [Wikipedia: Dieselkraftstoff](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieselkraftstoff) - [Wikipedia: Common-Rail-Einspritzung](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-Rail-Einspritzung) - [Wikipedia: Selektive katalytische Reduktion (AdBlue-Abgasreinigung)](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selektive_katalytische_Reduktion) Our legal pages are in German, which is the binding version.
