# Fuel drain in Streat: a local drainer comes to you
**Short answer**
Keys out, bonnet shut, hazards on if you are at the roadside. Fuel drain in Streat is drained on site by a local drainer: pumped out, flushed and refilled in about 45 to 90 minutes. Call-out from £89 — call 01295 380724 and you get the figure before anyone drives to you.

Here is why it matters. A fuel drain empties the tank of whatever should not be there, flushes the lines and refills with the right fuel.

## What the drainer does when they reach you in Streat
Most of the time is spent draining. A full tank of the wrong fuel takes longer to pump than a few litres, so the drainer will tell you roughly how long it will be once they see the gauge. After that it is a flush, a refuel and a test run before they leave.

## Questions worth asking before you book a drain in Streat
A drainer should be happy to answer all of these on the phone. If they will not give a price before travelling, ring someone else.

- What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain?
- How long until you reach me in Streat?
- Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price?
- How much more if the engine has already been started?
- Is there an extra charge at night or at the weekend?

## What to do right now
- Don't turn the key.
- Check what went in: the receipt and the pump number tell you the fuel and the litres.
- Call 01295 380724 with those details and your location.
- Get a price that covers the whole job, then book.
- The drainer arrives, drains the tank, flushes the lines and filter if needed.
- You get clean fuel, a running engine and a note of what was removed.

**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 Streat.

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

**Can I pay by card?**
Yes. Card payment is taken on site once the job is done.

**Can you drain a van or a lorry?**
Vans, yes, routinely. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are quoted separately because of the volume involved.

**Do I need to stay with the car?**
Ideally yes, so the drainer can confirm what happened and hand the keys back. If not, agree access on the phone.

**What if I have already driven home?**
Leave it on the drive with the engine off and call 01295 380724. The drainer can do the whole job at your house.

**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.

**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.
