Wrongfuel
Wrongfuel? Do not start the engine. The tank is drained, the lines are flushed, fresh fuel goes in and the system is primed where the car stands. Call 01293 248666 — a mobile technician comes to the vehicle anywhere across CA15 and the Solway coast. Call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999.
A local number, not a local building
The number at the top of this page is answered by the people who send technicians to Maryport. That is what the word local is doing here. It is not standing in for a depot, because Wrong Fuel Maryport does not have one — the van comes to CA15 and the Solway coast and the work happens where you are stood. Call 01293 248666.

Wrongfuel: what to do
Mobile drain and flush, on site, usually inside the hour.
Why the engine matters more than the litres
People assume a splash is fine and a full tank is a disaster. It is the other way round. Wrong fuel sitting in a tank is inert — it is a drain. Turn the key and it travels: lift pump, filter, high-pressure pump, injectors, and every stage it reaches adds a component to the bill. Five litres burned is worse than fifty litres left alone.
Step by step
- The single rule Leave the engine off. Everything else on this list is secondary to that one instruction.
- Do not reposition the car Pushing it into a bay feels considerate but it disturbs the fuel. Stay put unless you are in danger.
- If it is dangerous, get out On a verge or live road, everybody out on the side away from traffic and behind the barrier. Then call.
- Call 01293 248666, day or night Answered around the clock. Describe the vehicle and what happened; the full price is confirmed on that call.
- The fix, where you stand Drain, flush, refill, prime and run-up, carried out at the roadside or on the forecourt.
- Finished properly The waste is taken away by a registered carrier with the transfer note, and you get an invoice.

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.
Do you cover all of CA15 and the Solway coast?
Yes, from one rota — so being at one edge of the area rather than the other changes the arrival window, not the price.
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 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.
