The van is the workshop
Everything a drain needs — extraction pump, sealed waste container, fresh fuel, priming kit — travels in the vehicle. That is why Wrong Fuel Middlesbrough can cover all of TS1 and TS3 to TS8 without premises anywhere in it, and why the job usually ends where it started rather than at the end of a tow rope. 01293 248666, any hour.

Step by step
- Freeze, then think The reflex is to start up and drive somewhere sensible. Resist it. Nothing about the situation gets worse while the engine stays off.
- Where you are is fine A forecourt bay, a kerb, a car park: all workable. Only move if staying put is genuinely dangerous.
- Hazards and a quick word Switch the hazards on and tell anyone who needs to know — cashier, passengers, the driver behind.
- Ring 01293 248666 with four facts Make, wrong fuel, rough quantity, started or not. Those four facts set the price you are quoted before dispatch.
- A technician arrives equipped Pump, sealed waste drum, fresh fuel and priming kit all come in the van. Nothing is towed.
- Drive off, document in hand About an hour for a typical job, then a waste transfer note for the old fuel, which is worth keeping.
The pattern across 2,190 reviews
An average of 4.8 on Trustpilot. Positive reviews describe relief — someone arrived sooner than expected and treated an embarrassing error as routine, because for us it is.
Negative reviews describe sticker shock. So the sticker is here: £89 to £199 call-out, £199 to £1,999 drain, and you hear your own figure on the phone, with time to decide, before anyone drives out.
Questions we get asked
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.
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.
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.
How much does it cost in Middlesbrough?
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.
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.
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.
