About the service

Wrong Fuel Drain handles wrong-fuel work only: petrol in a diesel car, diesel in a petrol car, AdBlue in the diesel tank, red diesel in a road vehicle and contaminated fuel. A technician attends the forecourt, roadside, home or workplace with a licensed drainage unit, drains and flushes the fuel system on-site and refills with clean fuel. The contaminated fuel leaves with us for compliant disposal under Environment Agency licence. Work is carried out by Fuel Fixer Ltd, ISO 9001 and 14001 certified, rated 4.8 out of 5 on Google.

How a booking works

Every job starts with a phone call to 01295 380724. The operator confirms the vehicle, the fuels involved, whether the engine was started and your location, then quotes a price. Nothing is charged and no technician travels until you accept that price. Because the work is carried out at the roadside, on a forecourt, at your home or at your workplace rather than in a garage, the technician needs safe, legal access to the vehicle and the keys. If the vehicle sits on private land, the landowner’s permission is your responsibility.

What is included in the price

The quoted price covers attendance, the drain of the contaminated fuel, a flush of the fuel lines, a nominal amount of clean fuel to get the vehicle running, a start-and-check, and the removal of the contaminated fuel for compliant disposal under Environment Agency licence. Fuel-system parts, filters, injectors and any recovery to a garage are quoted separately if the vehicle was driven far enough to need them. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, plant, agricultural machinery and boats are quoted per job.

Waste fuel and the environment

The fuel drained from your vehicle is a controlled waste. It leaves the site with the technician and is processed for recycling through licensed channels. Duty-of-care documentation is available on request. Fuel Fixer Ltd operates to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, and holds Environment Agency waste-carrier registration.
