Wrong fuel in CA7: coverage
CA7 takes in Aspatria, Silloth, Wigton, Abbeytown and the Solway plain. Dispatch to this district runs from the same rota as the rest of Maryport, so there is no separate out-of-area charge for being at one edge of it rather than the other.
The four stages that decide the bill
Tank, lift pump, filter, high-pressure pump, injectors — in that order. A vehicle caught before the key turns has contamination in stage one only, and that is a straightforward extraction. Each further stage the fuel reaches is another part that may need replacing, which is why the first question on the phone is always whether the engine was started.
The coast road to Silloth has no fuel along it at all and the B-roads inland are unlit. A breakdown out here is a long way from a garage in any direction.
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.

What customers say
4.8 out of 5 from 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. The thing reviewers mention most is technicians who stay calm and professional with someone who is having a bad day, followed by how quickly a van turns up.
The most common criticism is price, so here it is plainly rather than buried: the call-out is £89 to £199 and the drain £199 to £1,999, and the full figure is given on the phone before anyone travels.
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 Maryport is mobile. A technician travels to the vehicle wherever it is standing.
How long will I be waiting?
Arrival depends where you are across CA15 and the Solway coast 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.
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.
Can I just top it up with the right fuel?
No. Dilution does not fix contamination, and driving to a filling station to try it is the mile that turns a drain into a repair.
