A local number, not a local building

The number at the top of this page is answered by the people who send technicians to Sunderland. That is what the word local is doing here. It is not standing in for a depot, because Wrong Fuel Sunderland does not have one — the van comes to SR1 to SR6, DH4 and DH5 and the work happens where you are stood. Call 01293 248666.

Wrong fuel in Hylton Castle: getting to you

Hylton Castle is reached along the A1231, from the same rota that covers Castletown. Being in a village rather than the town changes the drive time, not the price.

Villages are where a mobile drain earns its keep. There is no forecourt to wait on and no garage round the corner, so the work comes to the car instead.

Why we ask about the engine before anything else

It is not small talk. Whether the engine ran tells us which parts the wrong fuel has touched, and therefore what the technician needs to bring and what the job is likely to involve. A vehicle that never started needs a drain. One that ran needs a drain and a careful look further along the fuel path.

Step by step

  1. The single rule Leave the engine off. Everything else on this list is secondary to that one instruction.
  2. Do not reposition the car Pushing it into a bay feels considerate but it disturbs the fuel. Stay put unless you are in danger.
  3. 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.
  4. Call 01293 248666, day or night Answered around the clock. Describe the vehicle and what happened; the full price is confirmed on that call.
  5. The fix, where you stand Drain, flush, refill, prime and run-up, carried out at the roadside or on the forecourt.
  6. Finished properly The waste is taken away by a registered carrier with the transfer note, and you get an invoice.

What we do in Hylton Castle

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

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.

What happens to the old fuel?

It leaves with us as controlled waste under a waste transfer note. It is not tipped, and it is not resold to you.

Do you work at night?

Yes, around the clock, every day. A large share of misfuels happen after dark, so the rota reflects that.
