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 Abingdon. 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 I need to be there?** Only if the tank is not accessible without you. Otherwise, access instructions are enough. **Do you collect from farms and yards around Abingdon?** Yes, as well as homes, depots, marinas and commercial sites. **Can you take sludge from the bottom of the tank?** Yes. Residue and sludge are removed along with the fuel, and the tank is checked. **Where does the fuel go?** To licensed processing and recycling. It is never poured away or burned. **How much can you take?** From a few drums up to a full commercial tank. Larger jobs are surveyed and scheduled. **How is fuel disposal priced in Abingdon?** Per litre or per job, depending on volume and access. You get the figure on 01295 380724 before booking. ### 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.
