The van is the workshop
Everything a drain needs — extraction pump, sealed waste container, fresh fuel, priming kit — travels in the vehicle.

The four stages that decide the bill
Tank, lift pump, filter, high-pressure pump, injectors — in that order. A vehicle caught before the key turns has contamination in stage one only, and that is a straightforward extraction. Each further stage the fuel reaches is another part that may need replacing, which is why the first question on the phone is always whether the engine was started.
Middlesbrough is compact, so a technician reaches most of the town quickly — but the A19 and A66 running through it carry traffic that cannot safely stop where it breaks down.

Questions we get asked
How much does it cost in Middlesbrough?
From just £89 misfuel callout fee. The full price for your vehicle is confirmed on the phone before a technician sets off, so there is no surprise when we arrive.
Will it have done damage?
If the engine was never started, damage is unlikely. If it ran, the risk rises with the distance driven — which is exactly why we ask.
Can I just top it up with the right fuel?
No. Dilution does not fix contamination, and driving to a filling station to try it is the mile that turns a drain into a repair.
Can you come to a supermarket forecourt?
Yes, and it is where a good proportion of jobs happen. Tell the cashier a drainer is on the way; they are used to it.
What about a van or a hire car?
Same job. With a hire car, ring the hire company too — some policies cover a misfuel drain and it is worth knowing before you pay.
How long will I be waiting?
Arrival depends where you are across TS1 and TS3 to TS8 and what is already running. You get a realistic window on the call rather than an optimistic one.
