Editorial and authorship

Everything written on this site is by Rambo S, Wrong Fuel Expert at Fuel Fixer International. It is written from job data, invoices and customer reviews rather than from other people's websites — which is why the prices, the timings and the failure patterns on these pages match what actually happens on the job. The canonical author profile for the whole network is at https://forecourtassist.co.uk/experts/rambo-s/.

What we are not

There is no Wrong Fuel Darlington garage, workshop or premises. This is a mobile service: a technician travels to the vehicle. We say that plainly because a local phone number and a local name can imply a local building, and we would rather tell you than let you assume.

Reviews, including the bad ones

4.8 out of 5 across 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. Praise clusters on two things — speed of arrival, and technicians who do not make a driver feel stupid about a mistake anyone can make.

The complaint that comes up most is cost. It is a fair thing to raise: the call-out is From just £89 misfuel callout fee, the full price is confirmed before a technician sets off, and if the job turns out to be different you are told before further work, not after.

Questions we get asked

How long will I be waiting?

Arrival depends where you are across DL1, DL2 and DL3 and what is already running. You get a realistic window on the call rather than an optimistic one.

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.

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 I need to stay with the vehicle?

Usually yes, so we can hand it back to you running. If you cannot stay, say so on the call and we will work out how to do it.

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.

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.
