The rest come from drivers who made it a mile or two before the engine note changed. Both are routine; the first is quicker. ## The drain itself, step by step in Longnor The drainer parks up, checks the vehicle has not been started and makes the area safe with cones and a drip tray. The fuel is pumped out through the filler or the fuel line into a sealed tank on the van, the lines are flushed, a few litres of the right fuel go in, and the engine is started and run until it idles cleanly. The contaminated fuel leaves with them. ## Before you agree a price: what to ask You are going to pay for the job, so it is worth two minutes on the phone first. These are the questions that separate a straight quote from a surprise at the roadside. - 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? - Will you dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it? - Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price? ## What drainers deal with in Longnor ## What to do right now - Don't turn the key. - Check what went in: the receipt and the pump number tell you the fuel and the litres. - Call 01295 380724 with those details and your location. - Get a price that covers the whole job, then book. - The drainer arrives, drains the tank, flushes the lines and filter if needed. - You get clean fuel, a running engine and a note of what was removed.

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. Drainers cover postcode district SK17, and the roads either side of them, across Cheshire. Around Longnor, the busiest spots for call-outs tend to be Buxton, Tideswell, Hartington and Chelmorton. ### Drainers nearby [Buxton](/areas/buxton/)[Tideswell](/areas/tideswell/)[Hartington](/areas/hartington/)[Chelmorton](/areas/chelmorton/)[Chester](/areas/chester/)[Warrington](/areas/warrington/)[Crewe](/areas/crewe/)[Widnes](/areas/widnes/)[Ellesmere Port](/areas/ellesmere-port/)[Macclesfield](/areas/macclesfield/)[Northwich](/areas/northwich/)[Congleton](/areas/congleton/)[Runcorn](/areas/runcorn/)[Wilmslow](/areas/wilmslow/) ### More of Cheshire [Chester](/areas/chester/)[Warrington](/areas/warrington/)[Crewe](/areas/crewe/)[Widnes](/areas/widnes/)[Ellesmere Port](/areas/ellesmere-port/)[Macclesfield](/areas/macclesfield/)[Northwich](/areas/northwich/)[Congleton](/areas/congleton/)[Runcorn](/areas/runcorn/)[Wilmslow](/areas/wilmslow/)[Crank](/areas/crank/)[Broughton](/areas/broughton/) ### From the drainer's notebook [Milton Keynes fuel drainers: the area guide](/blog/milton-keynes-fuel-drainers-area-guide/)[Warrington fuel drainers: the area guide](/blog/warrington-fuel-drainers-area-guide/)[Northampton fuel drainers: the area guide](/blog/northampton-fuel-drainers-area-guide/)[Taunton fuel drainers: the area guide](/blog/taunton-fuel-drainers-area-guide/)[Dudley fuel drainers: the area guide](/blog/dudley-fuel-drainers-area-guide/)[Wakefield fuel drainers: the area guide](/blog/wakefield-fuel-drainers-area-guide/) **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 Longnor. 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 **I only put a little in — do I still need a drain?** In most modern diesels, yes. Even a small amount of petrol reduces the lubrication the pump depends on. A drain is cheap compared with a pump. **Can you drain a van or a lorry?** Vans, yes, routinely. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are quoted separately because of the volume involved. **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. **What happens to the fuel you take out?** It goes into a sealed tank on the drainer's van and is taken for licensed disposal and recycling. It is never tipped away. **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 does it cost in Longnor?** 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. ### 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.
