You do not need a garage and the vehicle does not move until it is ready. ## What to ask on the phone before a drainer travels to Alverstoke None of these are awkward questions. Any drainer worth calling will answer them before setting off. - Is there an extra charge at night or at the weekend? - Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price? - Do you bring clean fuel, and is it included? - How much more if the engine has already been started? - What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain? ## What drainers deal with in Alverstoke ## What to do right now - Leave the ignition alone — on many cars even unlocking it powers the fuel pump. - Push the car clear of the pump if needed, with someone steering and the engine off. - Call 01295 380724 and give the fuel, the amount and your exact location. - Ask for the whole price, not just the call-out, and agree it. - The drainer drains the tank into a sealed container and flushes the lines. - Fresh fuel goes in, the engine is started and the waste fuel leaves with the drainer.

The rest are at the roadside after the car cut out, or on a drive the next morning. All three work; the vehicle does not need to be towed anywhere. We cover postcode district PO12 and the surrounding streets in Hampshire. Give the operator your postcode and you will get an arrival window. The same van covers Hardway and Gosport, which usually keeps arrival times short across this side of Hampshire. ### Drainers nearby [Gosport](/areas/gosport/)[Hardway](/areas/hardway/)[Southampton](/areas/southampton/)[Portsmouth](/areas/portsmouth/)[Fleet](/areas/fleet/)[Farnborough](/areas/farnborough/)[Aldershot](/areas/aldershot/)[Fareham](/areas/fareham/)[Romsey](/areas/romsey/)[Andover](/areas/andover/)[Eastleigh](/areas/eastleigh/)[Havant](/areas/havant/)[Petersfield](/areas/petersfield/)[Basingstoke](/areas/basingstoke/) ### More of Hampshire [Southampton](/areas/southampton/)[Portsmouth](/areas/portsmouth/)[Fleet](/areas/fleet/)[Farnborough](/areas/farnborough/)[Aldershot](/areas/aldershot/)[Fareham](/areas/fareham/)[Gosport](/areas/gosport/)[Romsey](/areas/romsey/)[Andover](/areas/andover/)[Eastleigh](/areas/eastleigh/)[Havant](/areas/havant/)[Petersfield](/areas/petersfield/) ### From the drainer's notebook [Local fuel drainer in Colwyn Bay: what a call-out looks like](/blog/local-fuel-drainer-in-colwyn-bay/)[Local fuel drainer in Glenrothes: what a call-out looks like](/blog/local-fuel-drainer-in-glenrothes/)[Local fuel drainer in Hillingdon: what a call-out looks like](/blog/local-fuel-drainer-in-hillingdon/)[Local fuel drainer in Lisburn: what a call-out looks like](/blog/local-fuel-drainer-in-lisburn/)[Fuel drain near Vauxhall London: a drainer's field notes](/blog/fuel-drain-near-vauxhall-london/)[Fuel drain near Archway London: a drainer's field notes](/blog/fuel-drain-near-archway-london/) **4.8** out of 5 ★★★★★ Fuel Fixer, the company behind Wrong Fuel Drain, holds a rating of 4.8 out of 5 from [2,190 reviews on Trustpilot](https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.fuelfixer.co.uk), 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 Alverstoke. 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 **Do you cover all of Alverstoke?** Yes — forecourts, roadsides, homes and workplaces across Alverstoke and the surrounding area. **Does insurance cover petrol in a diesel car?** Many policies exclude misfuelling. Some breakdown cover and optional add-ons include it. Check your policy wording before assuming either way. **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 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 my engine be damaged?** Not if it has not been started. The wrong fuel sitting in the tank touches nothing that a drain cannot clear. Damage starts once it circulates. **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. ### Who you are dealing with Wrong Fuel Drain is a brand of [Fuel Fixer Ltd](https://www.fuelfixer.co.uk/) (company number 08520551), a company of Fuel Fixer International, the multinational group behind this website.
