The drain is the same; the tank is just bigger, so it takes a little longer. ## The drain itself, step by step in Gunness 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 Most bad experiences with a fuel drain come from not asking these up front. Ask them all. - Is there an extra charge at night or at the weekend? - Will you dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it? - Will you check the filter and pump if the engine ran? - What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain? - Do you bring clean fuel, and is it included? ## What drainers deal with in Gunness ## What to do right now - Stop. Do not start the engine, even for a moment. - Note the fuel type, the amount you put in and whether the car was already low. - Ring 01295 380724 and give the location — a postcode or the filling station name is enough. - Get the full price and an arrival time before you agree. - A drainer attends, drains and flushes the fuel system where the car is parked. - Clean fuel goes in, the engine is run, and you drive to the next forecourt to fill up.

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. Coverage takes in postcode districts DN15, DN17 in South Yorkshire. If you are just outside, call anyway — the drainer covering the next area will usually come. Nearby, drainers regularly attend High Santon, Normanby, Dragonby and Flixborough as well. ### Drainers nearby [Alkborough](/areas/alkborough/)[Appleby](/areas/appleby/)[Burton upon Stather](/areas/burton-upon-stather/)[Coleby](/areas/coleby/)[Dragonby](/areas/dragonby/)[Flixborough](/areas/flixborough/)[High Risby](/areas/high-risby/)[High Santon](/areas/high-santon/)[Low Risby](/areas/low-risby/)[Low Santon](/areas/low-santon/)[Normanby](/areas/normanby/)[Roxby](/areas/roxby/)[Scunthorpe](/areas/scunthorpe/)[Thealby](/areas/thealby/) ### More of South Yorkshire [Sheffield](/areas/sheffield/)[Doncaster](/areas/doncaster/)[Barnsley](/areas/barnsley/)[Rotherham](/areas/rotherham/)[Wales](/areas/wales/)[Longley](/areas/longley/)[Norton](/areas/norton/)[Thorne](/areas/thorne/)[Bulk users](/areas/bulk-users/)[Bentley](/areas/bentley/)[Bottesford](/areas/bottesford/)[Dinnington](/areas/dinnington/) ### From the drainer's notebook [Water in diesel tank in Crewe: a drainer's notes](/blog/water-in-diesel-tank-in-crewe-drainers-notes/)[Diesel in petrol in Newbury: a drainer's notes](/blog/diesel-in-petrol-in-newbury-drainers-notes/)[Fuel drain in Newtown: a drainer's notes](/blog/fuel-drain-in-newtown-drainers-notes/)[Drain it on the spot or tow it to a garage in Glasgow?](/blog/drain-or-garage-in-glasgow/)[Drain it on the spot or tow it to a garage in Liverpool?](/blog/drain-or-garage-in-liverpool/)[Drain it on the spot or tow it to a garage in Northampton?](/blog/drain-or-garage-in-northampton/) **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 Gunness. 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 **The engine is running rough — is that the wrong fuel?** If it started shortly after filling up, very likely. Pull over when it is safe, switch off and call 01295 380724. **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. **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. **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. **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. **Can you drain a van or a lorry?** Vans, yes, routinely. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are quoted separately because of the volume involved. ### 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.
