# Wrong fuel in Kendal: local guides
Local guides to wrong fuel in Kendal — every town and village we cover, the roads where misfuels happen, and what a drain costs. If it has just happened, call 01293 248666 first and read afterwards.

These guides are written for Kendal specifically. Kendal sits where southbound and northbound Lakes traffic both stop. Calls come from drivers at the end of a motorway leg at J36 and Killington Lake, and from visitors filling in Windermere before heading north into country with no forecourts.

## Wrong fuel in Kendal: 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 Kendal. Once past Ambleside there is nowhere to buy fuel until Keswick, so a mistake made in Kendal or Windermere is usually discovered a long way from anywhere useful.

## 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.
