Mechanics 24 hours
Mechanics 24 hours? Calls answered around the clock, every day. A large share of misfuels happen after dark, and the rota reflects that. Call 01293 248666 — a mobile technician comes to the vehicle anywhere across TS1 and TS3 to TS8. Call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999.
No premises, no recovery truck
The alternative to what we do is a recovery truck, a garage queue and a courtesy car you did not want. Wrong Fuel Middlesbrough sends a technician to TS1 and TS3 to TS8 instead, and the job is normally finished where you are standing. Call 01293 248666. There is no Middlesbrough branch to drive to, which is rather the point.

Mechanics 24 hours: what to do
Around the clock, every day, same price.
Following the fuel from filler to injector
Picture the route. Filler neck, tank, a lift pump drawing from the bottom, a filter catching debris, then the high-pressure pump squeezing fuel to enormous pressure for the injectors. Wrong fuel is harmless at the start of that route and expensive at the end of it. Only running the engine moves it along.
Step by step
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Then we work where the car is Extraction, line flush, fresh fuel, prime, run-up and a check. Nothing needs recovering anywhere.
- And the waste goes properly Registered carrier, waste transfer note, correct consignment. Keep the note; it is the document that protects you, not us.

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