A local number, not a local building
The number at the top of this page is answered by the people who send technicians to Carlisle. That is what the word local is doing here. It is not standing in for a depot, because Wrong Fuel Carlisle does not have one — the van comes to CA1 to CA6 and the work happens where you are stood. Call 01293 248666.

Why misfuelling happens in Denton Holme
Denton Holme sits across the CA2 postcode district and the A595, with Currock, Morton, Caldewgate and Newtown next door. Busy forecourts on the main route through are where most of it happens, usually in the dark and usually in a hurry.
A large share of Carlisle calls come from drivers who are not from Carlisle — border traffic on the A7 and M6 north, hire cars collected at the station that morning, and long-distance drivers making their last fill before the border.
It is worth knowing this is not a lapse of attention so much as a design gap: the narrower unleaded nozzle fits where it should not, and no forecourt hardware prevents it.
When it happens: The busiest window is early evening on the Kingstown and London Road forecourts, and a second, smaller peak overnight from the M6 at Southwaite.

Mobile drain and flush, on site, usually inside the hour.
What the wrong fuel does on its way through
Diesel lubricates as it passes; petrol dissolves that film and acts as a solvent. Run a diesel high-pressure pump on petrol and it wears fast, shedding fine metal into the injectors behind it. None of that happens while the fuel sits in the tank. All of it starts the moment the engine turns over.
Step by step
- Ignition off and stay off No starting, no accessory position, no quick test. Contamination still sitting in the tank is the best case, and it lasts exactly until the engine turns over.
- Keep the vehicle still Even rolling it a few metres can move fuel toward the pickup. If the spot is safe, the spot is right.
- Look after people first Hazard lights on. Passengers out and clear if there is passing traffic. On a forecourt, let the staff know what has happened.
- Phone 01293 248666 Give the vehicle, the fuel that went in, an estimate of the amount, and whether it ran. The price comes back on the same call.
- Extraction on the spot The tank is drained, the lines flushed, clean fuel added and the system primed — anywhere across CA1 to CA6.
- Paperwork and the waste An invoice for you; the contaminated fuel leaves with us as controlled waste under a transfer note.

Questions we get asked
Is there an out-of-hours surcharge?
The call-out is the call-out. Whatever the total is, you hear it on the phone before anyone travels.
Do you cover all of CA1 to CA6?
Yes, from one rota — so being at one edge of the area rather than the other changes the arrival window, not the price.
Can you come to a supermarket forecourt?
Yes, and it is where a good proportion of jobs happen. Tell the cashier a drainer is on the way; they are used to it.
Do you work at night?
Yes, around the clock, every day. A large share of misfuels happen after dark, so the rota reflects that.
