Hendon diesel disposal
Hendon diesel disposal? Old or stale petrol collected and taken away as controlled waste, with a transfer note. Never down a drain. Call 01293 248666 — the technician covering SR1 and SR2 comes to the vehicle. Collection quoted per litre or per job before we travel.
No premises, no recovery truck
The alternative to what we do is a recovery truck, a garage queue and a courtesy car you did not want. Wrong Fuel Sunderland sends a technician to SR1 to SR6, DH4 and DH5 instead, and the job is normally finished where you are standing. Call 01293 248666. There is no Sunderland branch to drive to, which is rather the point.

Why misfuelling happens in Hendon
Hendon sits across the SR1 and SR2 postcode districts and the A1018, with Hillview, Sunderland city centre, Grangetown and Ryhope next door. A large share of local calls come from drivers who have recently switched from petrol to diesel, or the other way, and reached for the nozzle out of habit.
Wearside calls lean heavily industrial: plant and supply-chain traffic filling at the same A19 forecourts at shift change, plus a large Washington van and fleet population on the Sunderland Highway.
Why one direction so outnumbers the other comes down to the pumps themselves. Diesel nozzles are wider than petrol filler necks at most forecourts, so that mistake is largely designed out. Nothing designs out the reverse.
When it happens: Shift change on the A19, and a separate residential pattern on Durham Road and Chester Road that skews towards the first tank after someone changes car.

- 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.
