Diesel in the AdBlue tank in Keresley Coventry, drained on the spot
Before anything else, keep the key out of the ignition. A drainer covering Keresley Coventry can be with you the same day for diesel in the adblue tank, drain it where the car stands and have you moving in about 1 to 3 hours. The misfuel call-out is £89 and the total is quoted on 01295 380724 before they travel.
The mechanism is simple. Diesel in the AdBlue tank contaminates the urea and can ruin the SCR dosing pump and injector, so it must come out before starting.

Questions worth asking before you book a drain in Keresley Coventry
You are going to pay for the job, so it is worth two minutes on the phone first. These are the questions that separate a straight quote from a surprise at the roadside.
- Will you dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it?
- Do you take card payment at the roadside?
- Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price?
- Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved?
- Is there an extra charge at night or at the weekend?
What to do right now
- Keep the engine off and put the keys somewhere you will not absent-mindedly use them.
- Move the car only by pushing, with help, and only if it is blocking a pump.
- Phone 01295 380724 and describe what happened.
- Confirm the quote — call-out from £89 — and the arrival window.
- The drainer empties the tank into a sealed container and flushes through.
- After a refuel and a test run, the waste fuel leaves with the drainer for licensed disposal.

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 Keresley Coventry.
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 work at night in Keresley Coventry?
Yes. Drainers work 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays.
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.
How long does a drain take in Keresley Coventry?
Usually 1 to 3 hours on site once the drainer arrives. Longer if the engine was started, because the filter and lines need flushing as well as the tank.
Can I drive to a garage with diesel in the adblue tank?
No. Every mile pushes the fuel further through the pump and injectors. A drainer comes to you, so there is no reason to move the car under its own power.
Does insurance cover diesel in the adblue tank?
Many policies exclude misfuelling. Some breakdown cover and optional add-ons include it. Check your policy wording before assuming either way.
Will you bring fuel?
Yes. The drainer adds enough of the correct fuel to start the engine and reach a filling station.
