A local number, not a local building
The number at the top of this page is answered by the people who send technicians to Durham. That is what the word local is doing here. It is not standing in for a depot, because Wrong Fuel Durham does not have one — the van comes to DH1, DH6, DH7 and the surrounding districts and the work happens where you are stood. Call 01293 248666.

Wrong fuel in Ouston: getting to you
Ouston is reached along the A1(M) J63, from the same rota that covers Chester-le-Street. If the car is on a narrow lane or a farm track, say so — it changes the kit we bring, not the call-out.
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.
Before and after the key turns
Before: contamination confined to the tank, a single straightforward extraction. After: the lift pump has pulled it through, the filter has absorbed some, the high-pressure pump is running on the wrong lubricant and the injectors are next. Same mistake, two very different jobs, separated by one turn of a key.
Step by step
- First: nothing Do not turn the key, do not turn the ignition to accessory, do not try the radio. The engine has not run on the wrong fuel yet and that is worth protecting.
- Second: stay where you are Unless you are somewhere dangerous. A vehicle that has not moved is a vehicle whose contamination is still all in one place.
- Third: make the call 01293 248666. Four questions — vehicle, which fuel, roughly how much, did it run — and you get a price and a window before anyone sets off.
- Then we work where the car is Extraction, line flush, fresh fuel, prime, run-up and a check. Nothing needs recovering anywhere.
- And the waste goes properly Registered carrier, waste transfer note, correct consignment. Keep the note; it is the document that protects you, not us.

Questions we get asked
How long will I be waiting?
Arrival depends where you are across DH1, DH6, DH7 and the surrounding districts and what is already running. You get a realistic window on the call rather than an optimistic one.
Is this a garage?
No. Wrong Fuel Durham is mobile. A technician travels to the vehicle wherever it is standing.
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 DH1, DH6, DH7 and the surrounding districts?
Yes, from one rota — so being at one edge of the area rather than the other changes the arrival window, not the price.
