## A drainer's view of The Meadows
A lot of calls around The Meadows 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.

## What to expect from the drainer in The Meadows
Most of the time is spent draining. A full tank of the wrong fuel takes longer to pump than a few litres, so the drainer will tell you roughly how long it will be once they see the gauge. After that it is a flush, a refuel and a test run before they leave.

## What to ask on the phone before a drainer travels to The Meadows
None of these are awkward questions. Any drainer worth calling will answer them before setting off.

- Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price?
- How long until you reach me in The Meadows?
- 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?
- What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain?

**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 The Meadows.

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

**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 does it cost in The Meadows?**
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.

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

**How long does a drain take in The Meadows?**
Usually 45 to 90 minutes on site once the drainer arrives. Longer if the engine was started, because the filter and lines need flushing as well as the tank.

**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.

**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.
