--- title: Diesel in petrol in Isle Of Skye: local drainer from £89 url: https://wrongfueldrain.com/diesel-in-petrol/isle-of-skye/ focus: diesel in a petrol car isle of skye phone: 01295 380724 updated: 2026-10-06 --- # Diesel in a petrol car in Isle Of Skye: a local drainer comes to you **Short answer** If the engine has not run, diesel in a petrol car in Isle Of Skye is usually a clean drain with no lasting harm. Keep it that way — don't start it — and ring 01295 380724. The call-out is £89, the drainer brings everything, and most jobs are done in 45 to 90 minutes. The mechanism is simple. A petrol engine lights its fuel with a spark, and diesel barely lights that way, so you get misfiring, smoke and eventually a car that will not start.

Tank drained into the van, lines flushed, clean fuel added, engine started and watched for a few minutes. The waste fuel is logged and taken for licensed disposal, and you get a receipt showing what was done. ## Five things to ask a drainer before they set off 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? - 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? - What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain? - Is there an extra charge at night or at the weekend? ## What to do right now - Don't press the start button or turn the key. - Take a photo of the pump display: it shows the fuel type and the litres. - Ring 01295 380724 and describe where the car is. - Agree the price before booking — the call-out starts at £89. - The drainer empties the tank and flushes the system where the car stands. - They refuel, start the engine and check it before handing back the keys.

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 Isle Of Skye. 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 Isle Of Skye?** Yes. Drainers work 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays. **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. **Will you bring fuel?** Yes. The drainer adds enough of the correct fuel to start the engine and reach a filling station. **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. **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. **Is the drain messy?** No. The fuel is pumped into a sealed tank on the van, and a drip tray catches anything from the connection. The area is left as it was. ### 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.
