What drainers see in Narborough
A lot of calls around Narborough are about vans: tradespeople filling up on the way to a job. The drain is the same; the tank is just bigger, so it takes a little longer.
The drain itself, step by step in Narborough
A good drainer asks three questions before touching anything: what fuel went in, how full the tank is, and whether the engine was started. The answers decide whether it is a straight drain or a drain plus a flush of the filter and pump. Either way it happens where the vehicle is parked.
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 there an extra charge at night or at the weekend?
- Will you check the filter and pump if the engine ran?
- Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price?
- Do you take card payment at the roadside?
- Will you dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it?

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.

- Clean fuel goes in, the engine is run, and you drive to the next forecourt to fill up.

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 Narborough.
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 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.
Will you bring fuel?
Yes. The drainer adds enough of the correct fuel to start the engine and reach a filling station.
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.
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.
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.
