Wrongfueldoctor
Wrongfueldoctor? Do not start the engine. The tank is drained, the lines are flushed, fresh fuel goes in and the system is primed where the car stands. Call 01293 248666 — a mobile technician comes to the vehicle anywhere across CA1 to CA6. Call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999.
No premises, no recovery truck
The alternative to what we do is a recovery truck, a garage queue and a courtesy car you did not want. Wrong Fuel Carlisle sends a technician to CA1 to CA6 instead, and the job is normally finished where you are standing. Call 01293 248666. There is no Carlisle branch to drive to, which is rather the point.

Wrongfueldoctor: what to do
Mobile drain and flush, on site, usually inside the hour.
The pump that pays for the mistake
A modern diesel high-pressure pump is machined to extremely fine tolerances and relies on the diesel itself to stay lubricated. Petrol is a solvent, so it removes that protection. The pump keeps turning, wears, and sends particles toward the injectors. Every part of that chain begins with the ignition.
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.

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 £89 to £199 and the drain £199 to £1,999, 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.
Questions we get asked
How long will I be waiting?
Arrival depends where you are across CA1 to CA6 and what is already running. You get a realistic window on the call rather than an optimistic one.
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.
What happens to the old fuel?
It leaves with us as controlled waste under a waste transfer note. It is not tipped, and it is not resold to you.
How much does it cost in Carlisle?
Call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999. The full price for your vehicle is confirmed on the phone before a technician sets off, so there is no surprise when we arrive.
