Wrong fuel in Darlington: why these guides exist
Most advice about misfuelling is written for the whole country and says nothing about where you actually are. These are written from the roads, the forecourts and the dispatch times around Darlington. Westbound drivers face the Stainmore crossing on the A66 with effectively no fuel and serious exposure in winter. A vehicle that stops up there is a genuinely difficult recovery.
