Wrong fuel in Durham: local guides
Local guides to wrong fuel in Durham — every town and village we cover, the roads where misfuels happen, and what a drain costs. If it has just happened, call 01293 248666 first and read afterwards.
These guides are written for Durham specifically. Durham calls split between motorway traffic at Durham Services and Belmont, a university population that turns over every September, and the former coalfield towns where distances to a main dealer are long.

Wrong fuel in Durham: why these guides exist
Most advice about misfuelling is written for the whole country and says nothing about where you actually are. These are written from the roads, the forecourts and the dispatch times around Durham. Durham sits at the centre of a wide rural catchment. Once you are out towards Consett, Crook or the coast, the nearest dealer is a long way off and a mobile drain is comfortably the faster option.
Rated 4.8 out of 5
From 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. Reviewers consistently pick out arrival times and the fact that technicians talk them through what happened rather than just taking the keys.
Where reviews are critical, it is almost always about price. Rather than ignore that: the call-out is From just £89 misfuel callout fee, quoted in full on the phone before travel, and we would rather lose the job on the call than argue about it on the forecourt.
