Answers
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 Greatham Guildford.
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 get a waste transfer note for fuel disposal?
Yes, at every collection. It documents your duty of care for the fuel.
How is fuel disposal priced in Greatham Guildford?
Per litre or per job, depending on volume and access. You get the figure on 01295 380724 before booking.
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.
Is old heating oil still usable?
Sometimes, if it is clean. If it has water or sludge in it, collection and disposal is the safer option.
Do you collect from farms and yards around Greatham Guildford?
Yes, as well as homes, depots, marinas and commercial sites.
Do I need to be there?
Only if the tank is not accessible without you. Otherwise, access instructions are enough.
