A technician covering NE1 to NE7, NE12, NE13 and NE15 travels to the vehicle — forecourt, driveway, car park or verge. Call 01293 248666 and you reach the people who dispatch to Newcastle upon Tyne, not a national queue. **Where**: Throckley, NE15 **Nearest to us**: Walbottle, Heddon-on-the-Wall and Newburn **Roads**: A69 and A6085 **What it costs**: Per litre, quoted before we travel **Time on site**: Depends on volume **Phone**: 01293 248666 ## Why misfuelling happens in Throckley Throckley sits across the NE15 postcode district and the A69 and A6085, with Walbottle, Heddon-on-the-Wall, Newburn and Lemington next door. The pattern here is the first fill of an unfamiliar car — a hire vehicle, a courtesy car after a repair, or a van the driver does not normally take out. Newcastle calls come from three reliable sources: retail-park forecourts feeding straight onto the Western Bypass, hire cars from the airport making their first fill days after collection, and a large private-hire and taxi fleet. 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: Weekday evening rush on the bypass, a September spike as the student population arrives with unfamiliar cars, and steady overnight volume from the A1 and A19. ## What happens, in order Key out, hands off An engine that has never run on the wrong fuel is a drain and nothing more. That is the cheapest outcome available and it is still on the table right now. - Do not move the vehicle Not into a bay, not onto the verge, not around the corner — unless it is genuinely unsafe where it is. - Hazards on, tell someone Forecourt staff are used to this and are rarely difficult about it once they know how long you will be. - Call 01293 248666 and be specific Vehicle, wrong fuel, rough quantity, engine started yes or no. Those four things determine the price, and you hear it before we travel. - Drain, flush, refill, prime Carried out where the vehicle stands, anywhere across NE1 to NE7, NE12, NE13 and NE15. - Back on the road About an hour for a standard job. The waste fuel is removed under a transfer note that discharges your duty of care. ## Petrol disposal near Throckley - Walbottle - Heddon-on-the-Wall - Newburn - Lemington - Scotswood - Newcastle city centre ## Other services in Throckley - Petrol in diesel in Throckley - Diesel in petrol in Throckley - Fuel doctor in Throckley - AdBlue in diesel in Throckley - Small amount of petrol in Throckley - Unleaded in diesel in Throckley - Misfuel in Throckley - Fuel drain in Throckley - Mobile fuel drain in Throckley - Wrong fuel rescue in Throckley ## More about Throckley - Throckley coverage - All of Newcastle upon Tyne ## What people actually said 4.8 out of 5 from 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. Two themes dominate the positive ones — how fast someone arrived, and how calm they were about it. The recurring negative is price. Publishing that alongside the answer seems more useful than hiding it: From just £89 misfuel callout fee is the call-out, the total is quoted before a technician moves, and there is no charge for being told on the phone that this is a job for a workshop. ## Questions we get asked **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. **How long will I be waiting?** Arrival depends where you are across NE1 to NE7, NE12, NE13 and NE15 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 Newcastle 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. **Do you cover all of NE1 to NE7, NE12, NE13 and NE15?** Yes, from one rota — so being at one edge of the area rather than the other changes the arrival window, not the price. ## Who you are dealing with Wrong Fuel Newcastle is a service by Forecourt Assist.
