Local, mobile, and not a garage
There is no Wrong Fuel Maryport premises, and we would rather say so than let a local name imply a local building. A technician covering CA15 and the Solway coast travels to the vehicle — forecourt, driveway, car park or verge. Call 01293 248666 and you reach the people who dispatch to Maryport, not a national queue.

Wrong fuel in Ewanrigg: getting to you
Ewanrigg is reached along the A596, from the same rota that covers Maryport. Distance out here changes when we arrive, never what we charge: the price is set by the job, not the postcode.
Made it home on the wrong fuel? Stop there. A car on its own drive is the simplest job of all, and far better than risking the last few miles.
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
- Leave the key alone This is the one that decides the price. Wrong fuel sitting in a tank is a drain; wrong fuel that has been through the engine is a different job.
- Do not push or coast it Moving the vehicle can slosh contaminated fuel toward the pickup. Leave it where it is unless staying there is unsafe.
- Make yourself safe Hazards on. On a forecourt, tell the cashier — they will almost always let you stay put once they know a drainer is coming.
- Call 01293 248666 Tell us the vehicle, which fuel went in, roughly how much, and whether the engine ran. You get a full price before anyone sets off.
- We drain, flush and prime Tank emptied, lines flushed, fresh fuel in, system bled and run up before we go.
- You drive away Most jobs finish on site in about an hour. The old fuel leaves with us under a waste transfer note.

The pattern across 2,190 reviews
An average of 4.8 on Trustpilot. Positive reviews describe relief — someone arrived sooner than expected and treated an embarrassing error as routine, because for us it is.
Negative reviews describe sticker shock. So the sticker is here: £89 to £199 call-out, £199 to £1,999 drain, and you hear your own figure on the phone, with time to decide, before anyone drives out.
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 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.
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.
