Why misfuelling happens in Linthorpe
Linthorpe sits across the TS5 postcode district and the A66, with Ayresome, Acklam, Whinney Banks and Brookfield next door. Busy forecourts on the main route through are where most of it happens, usually in the dark and usually in a hurry.
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.
It is worth knowing this is not a lapse of attention so much as a design gap: the narrower unleaded nozzle fits where it should not, and no forecourt hardware prevents it.
When it happens: Weekday evening peak on the Parkway, plus hospital and university traffic on Marton Road and a steady private-hire load.

Why we ask about the engine before anything else
It is not small talk. Whether the engine ran tells us which parts the wrong fuel has touched, and therefore what the technician needs to bring and what the job is likely to involve. A vehicle that never started needs a drain. One that ran needs a drain and a careful look further along the fuel path.
Step by step
- Ignition off and stay off No starting, no accessory position, no quick test. Contamination still sitting in the tank is the best case, and it lasts exactly until the engine turns over.
- Keep the vehicle still Even rolling it a few metres can move fuel toward the pickup. If the spot is safe, the spot is right.
- Look after people first Hazard lights on. Passengers out and clear if there is passing traffic. On a forecourt, let the staff know what has happened.
- Phone 01293 248666 Give the vehicle, the fuel that went in, an estimate of the amount, and whether it ran. The price comes back on the same call.
- Extraction on the spot The tank is drained, the lines flushed, clean fuel added and the system primed — anywhere across TS1 and TS3 to TS8.
- Paperwork and the waste An invoice for you; the contaminated fuel leaves with us as controlled waste under a transfer note.

Questions we get asked
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 work at night?
Yes, around the clock, every day. A large share of misfuels happen after dark, so the rota reflects that.
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 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.
