## A drainer's view of Cityside
The first question from the drainer is always whether the engine ran. In Cityside, as elsewhere, most callers have not started it, and those jobs are over in about an hour.

## The drain itself, step by step in Cityside
Expect a van with a pump and a sealed waste tank. The drainer drains the tank, flushes the system through, refuels with enough clean fuel to reach a forecourt, then starts the engine and lets it settle. You do not need a garage and the vehicle does not move until it is ready.

## Five things to ask a drainer before they set off
A drainer should be happy to answer all of these on the phone. If they will not give a price before travelling, ring someone else.

- Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price?
- Do you bring clean fuel, and is it included?
- How long until you reach me in Cityside?
- Do you take card payment at the roadside?
- How much more if the engine has already been started?

## Where drainers work in Cityside
Forecourt staff in Cityside see this every week and will usually let the vehicle sit in a bay until the drainer arrives. Otherwise the drainer can work on your drive, at your workplace or at the kerb outside.

Drainers cover postcode district BT48, and the roads either side of them, across Northern Ireland.

**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 Cityside.

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.

**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.

**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.

**What does it cost in Cityside?**
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.

**Do you cover all of Cityside?**
Yes — forecourts, roadsides, homes and workplaces across Cityside and the surrounding area.

**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.
