## What the drainer does when they reach you in Fareham
First they confirm what went in and how much, and whether the engine ran — that decides how far they need to go. Then the tank is emptied into a sealed container, the fuel lines and filter are flushed where needed, clean fuel is added and the vehicle is started and checked before they sign it off.

## Questions worth asking before you book a drain in Fareham
None of these are awkward questions. Any drainer worth calling will answer them before setting off.

- Is there an extra charge at night or at the weekend?
- What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain?
- How much more if the engine has already been started?
- Will you check the filter and pump if the engine ran?
- Will you dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it?

## What to do right now
- Leave the key out of the ignition and do not unlock the steering to push the car.
- If you are at the pump, tell the cashier; most forecourts will let the car stay in a bay.
- Call 01295 380724. Say what fuel went in, roughly how much, and where you are.
- Agree the price on the phone. Nobody travels until you have.
- The drainer pumps out the tank, flushes the lines and adds clean fuel.
- They start the engine, check it runs cleanly and take the old fuel away.

**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 Fareham.

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

**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.

**Will the car need a service afterwards?**
Not after a straight drain. If the engine ran on the wrong fuel, the drainer will tell you whether the filter should be changed.

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

**What happens to the fuel you take out?**
It goes into a sealed tank on the drainer's van and is taken for licensed disposal and recycling. It is never tipped away.

**How quickly can a drainer reach me in Fareham?**
Usually the same day and often within a couple of hours. The operator gives you an arrival window on 01295 380724 before you agree.

**Do you work at night in Fareham?**
Yes. Drainers work 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays.
