It does not mean a building — Wrong Fuel Durham has no premises and never has. Call 01293 248666 and the equipment comes to you. ## Read the reviews before you ring There are 2,190 of them on Trustpilot, averaging 4.8 out of 5. Look for the words that keep recurring: prompt, reassuring, explained everything. Look for the criticism too. It centres on what the job costs, which is why the ranges are printed here — £89 to £199 to come out, £199 to £1,999 to drain — and the exact sum is settled on the call. ## Questions we get asked **What about a van or a hire car?** Same job. With a hire car, ring the hire company too — some policies cover a misfuel drain and it is worth knowing before you pay. **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. ## Who you are dealing with Wrong Fuel Durham is a service by Forecourt Assistance.
