No premises, no recovery truck

The alternative to what we do is a recovery truck, a garage queue and a courtesy car you did not want. Wrong Fuel Middlesbrough sends a technician to TS1 and TS3 to TS8 instead, and the job is normally finished where you are standing. Call 01293 248666. There is no Middlesbrough branch to drive to, which is rather the point.

Wrong fuel in Gresham: getting to you

Gresham is reached along the A66, from the same rota that covers Middlesbrough town centre. A village address is not an out-of-area job, and there is no surcharge for it.

Villages are where a mobile drain earns its keep. There is no forecourt to wait on and no garage round the corner, so the work comes to the car instead.

Why the engine matters more than the litres

People assume a splash is fine and a full tank is a disaster. It is the other way round. Wrong fuel sitting in a tank is inert — it is a drain. Turn the key and it travels: lift pump, filter, high-pressure pump, injectors, and every stage it reaches adds a component to the bill. Five litres burned is worse than fifty litres left alone.

Step by step

  1. Stop. Do not turn the key Whatever else happens, this is the decision that matters. Contamination only travels under power.
  2. Resist the urge to move it The instinct is to get out of the way. Unless you are somewhere dangerous, staying put is the cheaper instinct to follow.
  3. Safety before diagnosis If you are on a live carriageway, get out and get behind the barrier, and let the police or National Highways deal with the lane first.
  4. Phone 01293 248666 You will be asked four questions and given a price and an arrival window. Both are honest rather than flattering.
  5. On-site extraction The tank is emptied, the feed lines are flushed, fresh fuel goes in and the system is primed and run.
  6. Done, and the waste leaves with us Under a waste transfer note. It is not tipped and it is not sold back to you.

What we do in Gresham

Reviews, including the bad ones

4.8 out of 5 across 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. Praise clusters on two things — speed of arrival, and technicians who do not make a driver feel stupid about a mistake anyone can make.

The complaint that comes up most is cost. It is a fair thing to raise: call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999, the full price confirmed before a technician sets off, and if the job turns out to be different you are told before further work, not after.

Questions we get asked

What happens to the old fuel?

It leaves with us as controlled waste under a waste transfer note. It is not tipped, and it is not resold to you.

Do you work at night?

Yes, around the clock, every day. A large share of misfuels happen after dark, so the rota reflects that.

Is there an out-of-hours surcharge?

The call-out is the call-out. Whatever the total is, you hear it on the phone before anyone travels.

How much does it cost in Gresham?

Call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999. The full price for your vehicle is confirmed on the phone before a technician sets off, so there is no surprise when we arrive.
