The drainer covering Hampshire sees both every week. ## The drain itself, step by step in Romsey 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. ## Before you agree a price: what to ask None of these are awkward questions. Any drainer worth calling will answer them before setting off. - Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved? - Will you dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it? - Is there an extra charge at night or at the weekend? - Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price? - Do you take card payment at the roadside? ## What drainers deal with in Romsey ### Pick what went in the tank [Petrol in diesel in Romsey](/petrol-in-diesel/romsey/)[Diesel in petrol in Romsey](/diesel-in-petrol/romsey/)[AdBlue in diesel tank in Romsey](/adblue-in-diesel-tank/romsey/)[Red diesel in tank in Romsey](/red-diesel-in-tank/romsey/)[Contaminated fuel in in Romsey](/contaminated-fuel/romsey/)[Mobile fuel drain in Romsey](/mobile-fuel-drain/romsey/)[Wrong fuel rescue in Romsey](/wrong-fuel-rescue/romsey/)[Wrong fuel in van in Romsey](/wrong-fuel-in-a-van/romsey/)[Wrong fuel drain cost in Romsey](/wrong-fuel-cost/romsey/)[Wrong fuel symptoms in Romsey](/wrong-fuel-symptoms/romsey/)[Wrong fuel engine damage in Romsey](/wrong-fuel-damage/romsey/)[Wrong fuel in Romsey](/wrong-fuel/romsey/)[Misfuel in Romsey](/misfuel/romsey/)[Fuel doctor in Romsey](/fuel-doctor/romsey/)[Fuel fixer in Romsey](/fuel-fixer/romsey/)[Fuel drain in Romsey](/fuel-drain/romsey/)[AdBlue in diesel in Romsey](/adblue-in-diesel/romsey/)[Unleaded in diesel in Romsey](/unleaded-in-diesel/romsey/)[Diesel in gasoline in Romsey](/diesel-in-gasoline/romsey/)[Gasoline in diesel in Romsey](/gasoline-in-diesel/romsey/)[Fuel collection in Romsey](/fuel-collection/romsey/)[Contaminated fuel collection in Romsey](/contaminated-fuel-collection/romsey/)[Heating oil collection in Romsey](/heating-oil-collection/romsey/)[Kerosene collection in Romsey](/kerosene-collection/romsey/)[Fuel disposal in Romsey](/fuel-disposal/romsey/)[Heating oil disposal in Romsey](/heating-oil-disposal/romsey/)[Kerosene disposal in Romsey](/kerosene-disposal/romsey/)[Screen wash in AdBlue tank in Romsey](/screen-wash-in-adblue-tank/romsey/)[AdBlue in screen wash tank in Romsey](/adblue-in-screen-wash-tank/romsey/)[Diesel in AdBlue tank in Romsey](/diesel-in-adblue-tank/romsey/)[Petrol in AdBlue tank in Romsey](/petrol-in-adblue-tank/romsey/)[AdBlue in petrol tank in Romsey](/adblue-in-petrol-tank/romsey/)[Water in diesel tank in Romsey](/water-in-diesel-tank/romsey/)[Water in petrol tank in Romsey](/water-in-petrol-tank/romsey/)[Water in AdBlue tank in Romsey](/water-in-adblue-tank/romsey/)[Water in screen wash tank in Romsey](/water-in-screen-wash-tank/romsey/)[Screen wash in petrol tank in Romsey](/screen-wash-in-petrol-tank/romsey/)[Screen wash in diesel tank in Romsey](/screen-wash-in-diesel-tank/romsey/) ## What to do right now - Leave the ignition alone — on many cars even unlocking it powers the fuel pump. - Push the car clear of the pump if needed, with someone steering and the engine off. - Call 01295 380724 and give the fuel, the amount and your exact location. - Ask for the whole price, not just the call-out, and agree it. - The drainer drains the tank into a sealed container and flushes the lines. - Fresh fuel goes in, the engine is started and the waste fuel leaves with the drainer.

Otherwise the drainer can work on your drive, at your workplace or at the kerb outside. Drainers cover postcode districts SO5, SO51, and the roads either side of them, across Hampshire. If you are just outside Romsey, you are probably still in range: Lockerley, Chandler's Ford, Wellow and Ampfield are all covered by the same drainers. ### Drainers nearby [Chandler's Ford](/areas/chandler-s-ford/)[Eastleigh](/areas/eastleigh/)[Ampfield](/areas/ampfield/)[Lockerley](/areas/lockerley/)[Mottisfont](/areas/mottisfont/)[Wellow](/areas/wellow/)[Southampton](/areas/southampton/)[Portsmouth](/areas/portsmouth/)[Fleet](/areas/fleet/)[Farnborough](/areas/farnborough/)[Aldershot](/areas/aldershot/)[Fareham](/areas/fareham/)[Gosport](/areas/gosport/)[Andover](/areas/andover/) ### More of Hampshire [Southampton](/areas/southampton/)[Portsmouth](/areas/portsmouth/)[Fleet](/areas/fleet/)[Farnborough](/areas/farnborough/)[Aldershot](/areas/aldershot/)[Fareham](/areas/fareham/)[Gosport](/areas/gosport/)[Andover](/areas/andover/)[Eastleigh](/areas/eastleigh/)[Havant](/areas/havant/)[Petersfield](/areas/petersfield/)[Basingstoke](/areas/basingstoke/) ### From the drainer's notebook [Maidstone fuel drainers: the area guide](/blog/maidstone-fuel-drainers-area-guide/)[Carlisle fuel drainers: the area guide](/blog/carlisle-fuel-drainers-area-guide/)[Chester fuel drainers: the area guide](/blog/chester-fuel-drainers-area-guide/)[Doncaster fuel drainers: the area guide](/blog/doncaster-fuel-drainers-area-guide/)[Lancaster fuel drainers: the area guide](/blog/lancaster-fuel-drainers-area-guide/)[Lincoln fuel drainers: the area guide](/blog/lincoln-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 Romsey. 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 **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. **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. **Can you drain a hire car or a company car?** Yes. Tell the hire company or fleet manager too; many prefer a drain on site to a recovery. **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 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. ### 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.
