What to expect from the drainer in Esher
The drainer parks up, checks the vehicle has not been started and makes the area safe with cones and a drip tray. The fuel is pumped out through the filler or the fuel line into a sealed tank on the van, the lines are flushed, a few litres of the right fuel go in, and the engine is started and run until it idles cleanly. The contaminated fuel leaves with them.
Five things to ask a drainer before they set off
You are going to pay for the job, so it is worth two minutes on the phone first. These are the questions that separate a straight quote from a surprise at the roadside.
- Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved?
- Do you take card payment at the roadside?
- Do you bring clean fuel, and is it included?
- Will you check the filter and pump if the engine ran?
- How much more if the engine has already been started?
What to do right now
- Don't turn the key.
- Check what went in: the receipt and the pump number tell you the fuel and the litres.
- Call 01295 380724 with those details and your location.
- Get a price that covers the whole job, then book.
- The drainer arrives, drains the tank, flushes the lines and filter if needed.
- You get clean fuel, a running engine and a note of what was removed.

From the drainer's notebook
Fuel Fixer, the company behind Wrong Fuel Drain, holds a rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 2,190 reviews on Trustpilot, on a profile claimed since 2017.
Across recent reviews, the themes customers raise most often are staff who stay polite, professional and reassuring during what is a stressful situation, and how quickly a technician arrives and gets the vehicle back on the road in Esher.
The most common criticism is price. Some customers have felt the cost of an emergency drain was steep for a job that takes under two hours, and that is fair comment on an emergency call-out. It is why the misfuel call-out fee now starts at just £89 and why the full figure is quoted on the phone before a technician sets off — so nothing about the cost is a surprise at the roadside.
Common questions
Can you drain a hire car or a company car?
Yes. Tell the hire company or fleet manager too; many prefer a drain on site to a recovery.
Do you work at night in Esher?
Yes. Drainers work 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays.
How long does a drain take in Esher?
Usually 45 to 90 minutes on site once the drainer arrives. Longer if the engine was started, because the filter and lines need flushing as well as the tank.
Does insurance cover adblue in the screen wash tank?
Many policies exclude misfuelling. Some breakdown cover and optional add-ons include it. Check your policy wording before assuming either way.
What happens to the fuel you take out?
It goes into a sealed tank on the drainer's van and is taken for licensed disposal and recycling. It is never tipped away.
What does it cost in Esher?
The call-out starts at £89. The full price depends on the vehicle and how far the fuel got, and it is confirmed on 01295 380724 before anyone travels.
