A local number, not a local building
The number at the top of this page is answered by the people who send technicians to Teesside. That is what the word local is doing here. It is not standing in for a depot, because Wrong Fuel Teesside does not have one — the van comes to the TS postcode area and the work happens where you are stood. Call 01293 248666.

petrol disposal in Teesside: what is actually involved
How to get rid of old petrol is one of the most-searched questions in this whole subject, and the honest answer is that a household can't legally pour it away. Old petrol from a mower, a stored car or a jerry can is controlled waste. Some council tips take small quantities; anything more, or anything contaminated, needs a registered carrier and a waste transfer note. We collect it, priced per litre plus the call-out.
Waste, paperwork and duty of care
Fuel removed from a tank is controlled waste. It leaves under a waste transfer note, which is the document that discharges your duty of care as the person who produced it. Pricing on collection work is per litre plus the call-out, because the volume is the job — a domestic oil tank and a commercial bunded tank are not the same piece of work.
Step by step
- Leave the key alone This is the one that decides the price. Wrong fuel sitting in a tank is a drain; wrong fuel that has been through the engine is a different job.
- Do not push or coast it Moving the vehicle can slosh contaminated fuel toward the pickup. Leave it where it is unless staying there is unsafe.
- Make yourself safe Hazards on. On a forecourt, tell the cashier — they will almost always let you stay put once they know a drainer is coming.
- Call 01293 248666 Tell us the vehicle, which fuel went in, roughly how much, and whether the engine ran. You get a full price before anyone sets off.
- We drain, flush and prime Tank emptied, lines flushed, fresh fuel in, system bled and run up before we go.
- You drive away Most jobs finish on site in about an hour. The old fuel leaves with us under a waste transfer note.

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
What if it is not safe to drain where I am?
Then we tell you that on the phone rather than after arriving. Being told honestly costs nothing; being told on arrival costs a call-out.
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.
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 you cover all of the TS postcode area?
Yes, from one rota — so being at one edge of the area rather than the other changes the arrival window, not the price.
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.
Do you work at night?
Yes, around the clock, every day. A large share of misfuels happen after dark, so the rota reflects that.
