Why misfuelling happens in Newport

Newport sits across the TS1 postcode district and the A66, with Middlesbrough town centre, Ayresome, Cannon Park and Gresham next door. Most calls from this area come from supermarket forecourts at the end of the working day, when the pumps are busy and the driver is thinking about something else.

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.

Fuel disposal near Newport: what to do

The legal way to get rid of old petrol.

Step by step

  1. The single rule Leave the engine off. Everything else on this list is secondary to that one instruction.
  2. Do not reposition the car Pushing it into a bay feels considerate but it disturbs the fuel. Stay put unless you are in danger.
  3. If it is dangerous, get out On a verge or live road, everybody out on the side away from traffic and behind the barrier. Then call.
  4. Call 01293 248666, day or night Answered around the clock. Describe the vehicle and what happened; the full price is confirmed on that call.
  5. The fix, where you stand Drain, flush, refill, prime and run-up, carried out at the roadside or on the forecourt.
  6. Finished properly The waste is taken away by a registered carrier with the transfer note, and you get an invoice.

Questions we get asked

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.

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.

Do you cover all of TS1 and TS3 to TS8?

Yes, from one rota — so being at one edge of the area rather than the other changes the arrival window, not the price.

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.
