When a drainer arrives in Anlaby Park Hull

Before you agree a price: what to ask
Most bad experiences with a fuel drain come from not asking these up front. Ask them all.
- Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price?
- Do you take card payment at the roadside?
- Do you bring clean fuel, and is it included?
- How long until you reach me in Anlaby Park Hull?
- Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved?

More of Hull
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 Anlaby Park Hull.
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
Will the car need a service afterwards?
Not after a straight drain. If the engine ran on the wrong fuel, the drainer will tell you whether the filter should be changed.
Can I pay by card?
Yes. Card payment is taken on site once the job is done.
Can I drive to a garage with petrol in a diesel car?
No. Every mile pushes the fuel further through the pump and injectors. A drainer comes to you, so there is no reason to move the car under its own power.
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.
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.
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.
