Standard policies often exclude it
Many comprehensive policies exclude misfuelling, treating it as driver error. Some include it, and some breakdown add-ons cover the drain. The only way to be sure is to read your policy wording or ask your insurer.
Keep the paperwork
Whatever your cover, keep the drain invoice and job sheet. If a fault is later disputed, evidence that the fuel was professionally removed promptly protects your position.
