If you have misfuelled then, call anyway — drainers across South Yorkshire work through the weekend. ## On arrival in Waterthope: what happens next 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 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 dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it? - What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain? - 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 Waterthope ## 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. We cover postcode district S20 and the surrounding streets in South Yorkshire. Give the operator your postcode and you will get an arrival window. If you are just outside Waterthope, you are probably still in range: Owlthorpe, Mosborough, Beighton and Sothall are all covered by the same drainers. ### Drainers nearby [Westfield](/areas/westfield/)[Sothall](/areas/sothall/)[Owlthorpe](/areas/owlthorpe/)[Beighton](/areas/beighton/)[Crystal Peaks](/areas/crystal-peaks/)[Halfway](/areas/halfway/)[Mosborough](/areas/mosborough/)[Sheffield](/areas/sheffield/)[Doncaster](/areas/doncaster/)[Barnsley](/areas/barnsley/)[Rotherham](/areas/rotherham/)[Wales](/areas/wales/)[Longley](/areas/longley/)[Norton](/areas/norton/) ### 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 [Night and weekend fuel drains in Forest Hill London](/blog/night-and-weekend-fuel-drains-in-forest-hill-london/)[Night and weekend fuel drains in Harrow London](/blog/night-and-weekend-fuel-drains-in-harrow-london/)[Night and weekend fuel drains in Ilford London](/blog/night-and-weekend-fuel-drains-in-ilford-london/)[Night and weekend fuel drains in Leyton London](/blog/night-and-weekend-fuel-drains-in-leyton-london/)[Greater London fuel drainers: the area guide](/blog/greater-london-fuel-drainers-area-guide/)[Northern Ireland fuel drainers: the area guide](/blog/northern-ireland-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 Waterthope. 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. **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. **Do you work at night in Waterthope?** Yes. Drainers work 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays. **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 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. ### 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.
