What to expect from the drainer in Fraserburgh
The drainer parks up, checks the vehicle has not been started and makes the area safe with cones and a drip tray. The fuel is pumped out through the filler or the fuel line into a sealed tank on the van, the lines are flushed, a few litres of the right fuel go in, and the engine is started and run until it idles cleanly. The contaminated fuel leaves with them.
Before you agree a price: what to ask
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?
- 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?
- How long until you reach me in Fraserburgh?
- Do you bring clean fuel, and is it included?
What to do right now
- Leave the ignition alone — on many cars even unlocking it powers the fuel pump.
- Push the car clear of the pump if needed, with someone steering and the engine off.
- Call 01295 380724 and give the fuel, the amount and your exact location.
- Ask for the whole price, not just the call-out, and agree it.
- The drainer drains the tank into a sealed container and flushes the lines.
- Fresh fuel goes in, the engine is started and the waste fuel leaves with the drainer.

From the drainer's notebook
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 Fraserburgh.
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
How long does a drain take in Fraserburgh?
Usually 45 to 90 minutes on site once the drainer arrives. Longer if the engine was started, because the filter and lines need flushing as well as the tank.
Can I pay by card?
Yes. Card payment is taken on site once the job is done.
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.
Will you bring fuel?
Yes. The drainer adds enough of the correct fuel to start the engine and reach a filling station.
Will my engine be damaged?
Not if it has not been started. The wrong fuel sitting in the tank touches nothing that a drain cannot clear. Damage starts once it circulates.
How quickly can a drainer reach me in Fraserburgh?
Usually the same day and often within a couple of hours. The operator gives you an arrival window on 01295 380724 before you agree.
