A local number, not a local building

The number at the top of this page is answered by the people who send technicians to Middlesbrough. That is what the word local is doing here. It is not standing in for a depot, because Wrong Fuel Middlesbrough does not have one — the van comes to TS1 and TS3 to TS8 and the work happens where you are stood. Call 01293 248666.

How to drain fuel from vauxhall insignia: what to do

Extract, flush, refill, prime.

Where the damage actually occurs

Not in the tank. The tank is just where it starts. Damage happens at the high-pressure pump, which relies on the fuel itself for lubrication and has very tight tolerances, and then at the injectors downstream of it. Reaching either requires the engine to have run, which is why a car coasted to a halt on the forecourt is almost always a call-out and nothing more.

Step by step

  1. First: nothing Do not turn the key, do not turn the ignition to accessory, do not try the radio. The engine has not run on the wrong fuel yet and that is worth protecting.
  2. Second: stay where you are Unless you are somewhere dangerous. A vehicle that has not moved is a vehicle whose contamination is still all in one place.
  3. Third: make the call 01293 248666. Four questions — vehicle, which fuel, roughly how much, did it run — and you get a price and a window before anyone sets off.
  4. Then we work where the car is Extraction, line flush, fresh fuel, prime, run-up and a check. Nothing needs recovering anywhere.
  5. And the waste goes properly Registered carrier, waste transfer note, correct consignment. Keep the note; it is the document that protects you, not us.

What customers say

4.8 out of 5 from 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. The thing reviewers mention most is technicians who stay calm and professional with someone who is having a bad day, followed by how quickly a van turns up.

The most common criticism is price, so here it is plainly rather than buried: the call-out is £89 to £199 and the drain £199 to £1,999, and the full figure is given on the phone before anyone travels.

Questions we get asked

What if I have already driven it?

Still call. Most vehicles driven a short distance are recoverable. Tell us how far you got, because it changes the kit we bring.

Do I need to stay with the vehicle?

Usually yes, so we can hand it back to you running. If you cannot stay, say so on the call and we will work out how to do it.

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.

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.
