The pattern here is the first fill of an unfamiliar car — a hire vehicle, a courtesy car after a repair, or a van the driver does not normally take out. The Parkway pattern repeats every weekday evening: a driver pulls off, fills quickly because the queue is moving, and rejoins at speed. The forecourts there serve passing traffic rather than regulars, which is exactly the setting that produces misfuels. The asymmetry is physical. A petrol nozzle fits a diesel car; a diesel nozzle usually will not fit a petrol one. That single difference in nozzle diameter accounts for most of the imbalance in the jobs we attend. When it happens: Weekday evening peak on the Parkway, plus hospital and university traffic on Marton Road and a steady private-hire load. ## Adblue in petrol tank by mistake near Nunthorpe: what to do Water-based, sinks to the pickup, has to come out. ## The mechanical reason the advice is always the same Every drainer tells you not to start the engine, and it is not a sales line. The fuel path runs tank → lift pump → filter → high-pressure pump → injectors, and contamination only moves along it under power. Stationary, the problem stays in the tank where it is cheap to remove. Under power, it spreads into parts that are not. ## Step by step Key out, hands off An engine that has never run on the wrong fuel is a drain and nothing more. That is the cheapest outcome available and it is still on the table right now. - Do not move the vehicle Not into a bay, not onto the verge, not around the corner — unless it is genuinely unsafe where it is. - Hazards on, tell someone Forecourt staff are used to this and are rarely difficult about it once they know how long you will be. - Call 01293 248666 and be specific Vehicle, wrong fuel, rough quantity, engine started yes or no.

Two themes dominate the positive ones — how fast someone arrived, and how calm they were about it. The recurring negative is price. Publishing that alongside the answer seems more useful than hiding it: £89 to £199 for the call-out, £199 to £1,999 for the drain, the total quoted before a technician moves, and no charge for being told on the phone that this is a job for a workshop. ## Questions we get asked **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 Nunthorpe?** 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. **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. ## Who you are dealing with Wrong Fuel Middlesbrough is a service by Forecourt Assistance.
