Misfuelling help across Cumbria
We're on call across Cumbria every day of the year, with regular jobs in Penrith, Workington and Barrow-in-Furness.
Misfuelling is most common in unfamiliar or hire vehicles, and when drivers are tired or distracted. It is not a sign of a bad driver, and with the right equipment it is a quick and routine fix.
Breakdowns on the M6, A66 and A590 are reached quickly, and we attend lay-bys, services and car parks as well as forecourts.
