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 Great Corby
Great Corby sits across the CA4 postcode district and the A69, with Wetheral, Scotby, Warwick Bridge and Aglionby 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.
Great Corby waste fuel disposal: what to do
The legal way to get rid of old petrol.
Step by step
- Freeze, then think The reflex is to start up and drive somewhere sensible. Resist it. Nothing about the situation gets worse while the engine stays off.
- Where you are is fine A forecourt bay, a kerb, a car park: all workable. Only move if staying put is genuinely dangerous.
- Hazards and a quick word Switch the hazards on and tell anyone who needs to know — cashier, passengers, the driver behind.
- Ring 01293 248666 with four facts Make, wrong fuel, rough quantity, started or not. Those four facts set the price you are quoted before dispatch.
- A technician arrives equipped Pump, sealed waste drum, fresh fuel and priming kit all come in the van. Nothing is towed.
- Drive off, document in hand About an hour for a typical job, then a waste transfer note for the old fuel, which is worth keeping.

Questions we get asked
Will it have done damage?
If the engine was never started, damage is unlikely. If it ran, the risk rises with the distance driven — which is exactly why we ask.
Can I just top it up with the right fuel?
No. Dilution does not fix contamination, and driving to a filling station to try it is the mile that turns a drain into a repair.
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.
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.
