Local, mobile, and not a garage
There is no Wrong Fuel Middlesbrough premises, and we would rather say so than let a local name imply a local building. A technician covering TS1 and TS3 to TS8 travels to the vehicle — forecourt, driveway, car park or verge. Call 01293 248666 and you reach the people who dispatch to Middlesbrough, not a national queue.

What happens if you put a small amount of adblue in diesel tank: what to do
Water-based, sinks to the pickup, has to come out.
Before and after the key turns
Before: contamination confined to the tank, a single straightforward extraction. After: the lift pump has pulled it through, the filter has absorbed some, the high-pressure pump is running on the wrong lubricant and the injectors are next. Same mistake, two very different jobs, separated by one turn of a key.
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.
Is this a garage?
No. Wrong Fuel Middlesbrough is mobile. A technician travels to the vehicle wherever it is standing.
How long will I be waiting?
Arrival depends where you are across TS1 and TS3 to TS8 and what is already running. You get a realistic window on the call rather than an optimistic one.
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.
