Gateshead has several major roads passing through it, including the A184 connecting the town to Sunderland and the A1 connecting to Edinburgh and London. The Millennium Bridge, a cyclist and pedestrian tilt bridge between Gateshead arts quarter and Newcastle's Quayside, is powered by enough electric motors to run more than eight Ford Focus cars. A clean air zone was introduced in the town in early 2023, so some vehicles have to pay to drive through the area.
A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Gateshead to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Gateshead, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.
When you put the wrong fuel in your car, the most important thing to do is avoid starting the engine or even putting the key in the ignition if you haven't already. Doing so could cause severe damage. Instead, you must arrange a wrong fuel removal service as soon as possible. Fortunately, mobile mechanic wrong fuel drainage services are common.

Putting petrol in a diesel car is the worst case scenario because unleaded fuel acts as a solvent, causing damage to the fuel pump and other components. But there's no need to panic; plenty of garages and breakdown companies offer wrong fuel recovery and removal services. This process takes about an hour and involves draining the tank and fuel system before filling it up again with the correct fuel.
A wrong fuel rescue price can range from £180 to £350.
