Why misfuelling happens in Longlands

Longlands sits across the TS4 postcode district and the A66, with Grove Hill, Grove Hill village, Easterside and Beechwood next door. A large share of local calls come from drivers who have recently switched from petrol to diesel, or the other way, and reached for the nozzle out of habit.

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.

Water-based, sinks to the pickup, has to come out.

Three questions that tell us most of the story

Did the engine start? How far did it run? Which fuel went in? The first two describe how far contamination has travelled along tank, lift pump, filter, high-pressure pump and injectors. The third describes how it behaves along the way: petrol thins the lubrication a diesel pump needs, while diesel in a petrol engine fouls plugs and injectors instead.

Step by step

  1. Do not start the engine Before the key turns, the problem is in one place. After it, it is in four. That single decision is worth more than anything else on this page.
  2. Stay put if it is safe to Do not try to reach home, a garage, or a quieter spot. Every mile driven moves contamination further down the fuel system.
  3. Get clear if it is not On a verge or a hard shoulder, leave the vehicle and stand behind the barrier. Kit can be replaced; you cannot.
  4. Ring 01293 248666 Have the registration, the fuel type and an idea of the quantity ready. The full price is confirmed on that call, not on arrival.
  5. The technician works where you are Extraction, line flush, fresh fuel, prime, run-up. Everything needed travels in the van.
  6. Paperwork and away You get an invoice and we take the contaminated fuel away as controlled waste, properly consigned.

Questions we get asked

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 if it is not safe to drain where I am?

Then we tell you that on the phone rather than after arriving. Being told honestly costs nothing; being told on arrival costs a call-out.

Is this a garage?

No. Wrong Fuel Middlesbrough is mobile. A technician travels to the vehicle wherever it is standing.

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.
