Local drainer for adblue in screen wash tank in Rugby
Keys out, bonnet shut, hazards on if you are at the roadside. AdBlue in the screen wash tank in Rugby is drained on site by a local drainer: pumped out, flushed and refilled in about 45 to 90 minutes. Call-out from £89 — call 01295 380724 and you get the figure before anyone drives to you.
What matters most is whether the fuel has moved beyond the tank. AdBlue in the washer bottle leaves a crystalline film on the glass and attacks seals and paint, so the bottle and lines are drained.

When a drainer arrives in Rugby
On a forecourt the drainer will usually move the vehicle off the pump lane first, by hand, with the engine off. Then it is drain, flush, refuel and start. At home or at work they can do the whole thing on the drive or in the car park without moving it at all.
What to ask on the phone before a drainer travels to Rugby
Most bad experiences with a fuel drain come from not asking these up front. Ask them all.
- How long until you reach me in Rugby?
- How much more if the engine has already been started?
- Will you dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it?
- Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved?
- Do you take card payment at the roadside?
What to do right now
- Keep the engine off and put the keys somewhere you will not absent-mindedly use them.
- Move the car only by pushing, with help, and only if it is blocking a pump.
- Phone 01295 380724 and describe what happened.
- Confirm the quote — call-out from £89 — and the arrival window.
- The drainer empties the tank into a sealed container and flushes through.
- After a refuel and a test run, the waste fuel leaves with the drainer for licensed disposal.

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 Rugby.
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
Is the drain messy?
No. The fuel is pumped into a sealed tank on the van, and a drip tray catches anything from the connection. The area is left as it was.
Can I pay by card?
Yes. Card payment is taken on site once the job is done.
Do I need to stay with the car?
Ideally yes, so the drainer can confirm what happened and hand the keys back. If not, agree access on the phone.
Will you bring fuel?
Yes. The drainer adds enough of the correct fuel to start the engine and reach a filling station.
Do I need to move the car off the forecourt?
Only if it is blocking a pump. Push it into a bay with help and the engine off; the drainer can work there.
What if I have already driven home?
Leave it on the drive with the engine off and call 01295 380724. The drainer can do the whole job at your house.
