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 Causewayhead: getting to you
Causewayhead is reached along the B5302, from the same rota that covers Silloth. Being in a village rather than the town changes the drive time, not the price.
If the car is on a driveway, you are in the best position of all: no traffic, no forecourt queue, and all the time needed to do the job properly.
The pump that pays for the mistake
A modern diesel high-pressure pump is machined to extremely fine tolerances and relies on the diesel itself to stay lubricated. Petrol is a solvent, so it removes that protection. The pump keeps turning, wears, and sends particles toward the injectors. Every part of that chain begins with the ignition.
Step by step
- Freeze, then think The reflex is to start up and drive somewhere sensible. Resist it. Nothing about the situation gets worse while the engine stays off.
- Where you are is fine A forecourt bay, a kerb, a car park: all workable. Only move if staying put is genuinely dangerous.
- Hazards and a quick word Switch the hazards on and tell anyone who needs to know — cashier, passengers, the driver behind.
- Ring 01293 248666 with four facts Make, wrong fuel, rough quantity, started or not. Those four facts set the price you are quoted before dispatch.
- A technician arrives equipped Pump, sealed waste drum, fresh fuel and priming kit all come in the van. Nothing is towed.
- Drive off, document in hand About an hour for a typical job, then a waste transfer note for the old fuel, which is worth keeping.

Reviews, including the bad ones
4.8 out of 5 across 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. Praise clusters on two things — speed of arrival, and technicians who do not make a driver feel stupid about a mistake anyone can make.
The complaint that comes up most is cost. It is a fair thing to raise: call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999, the full price confirmed before a technician sets off, and if the job turns out to be different you are told before further work, not after.
Questions we get asked
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.
Do you work at night?
Yes, around the clock, every day. A large share of misfuels happen after dark, so the rota reflects that.
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.
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.
