Ask them all. - How much more if the engine has already been started? - Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved? - Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price? - Is there an extra charge at night or at the weekend? - Will you check the filter and pump if the engine ran? ## What drainers deal with in Wytham ## 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 OX2 and the surrounding streets in Oxfordshire. Give the operator your postcode and you will get an arrival window. The drainers who cover Wytham also work Summertown, Botley, North Hinksey and North and West Oxford, so a call from any of them is handled the same way. ### Drainers nearby [North and West Oxford](/areas/north-and-west-oxford/)[Botley](/areas/botley/)[North Hinksey](/areas/north-hinksey/)[Summertown](/areas/summertown/)[Oxford](/areas/oxford/)[Abingdon](/areas/abingdon/)[Bicester](/areas/bicester/)[Witney](/areas/witney/)[Banbury](/areas/banbury/)[Carterton](/areas/carterton/)[Didcot](/areas/didcot/)[Kidlington](/areas/kidlington/)[Thame](/areas/thame/)[Wantage](/areas/wantage/) ### More of Oxfordshire [Oxford](/areas/oxford/)[Abingdon](/areas/abingdon/)[Bicester](/areas/bicester/)[Witney](/areas/witney/)[Banbury](/areas/banbury/)[Carterton](/areas/carterton/)[Didcot](/areas/didcot/)[Kidlington](/areas/kidlington/)[Thame](/areas/thame/)[Wantage](/areas/wantage/)[Combe](/areas/combe/)[Twyford](/areas/twyford/) ### From the drainer's notebook [Fuel drain near Caversham Reading: a drainer's field notes](/blog/fuel-drain-near-caversham-reading/)[Fuel drain near Cheylesmore Coventry: a drainer's field notes](/blog/fuel-drain-near-cheylesmore-coventry/)[Fuel drain near Clydach Swansea: a drainer's field notes](/blog/fuel-drain-near-clydach-swansea/)[Fuel drain near Cottingham Hull: a drainer's field notes](/blog/fuel-drain-near-cottingham-hull/)[Fuel drain near Crookes Sheffield: a drainer's field notes](/blog/fuel-drain-near-crookes-sheffield/)[Fuel drain near Danestone Aberdeen: a drainer's field notes](/blog/fuel-drain-near-danestone-aberdeen/) **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 Wytham. 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 you cover all of Wytham?** Yes — forecourts, roadsides, homes and workplaces across Wytham and the surrounding area. **Can I pay by card?** Yes. Card payment is taken on site once the job is done. **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. **Can you drain a van or a lorry?** Vans, yes, routinely. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are quoted separately because of the volume involved. **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. ### 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.
