Drained where it stands **Short answer** Do not turn the ignition, not even to check the dashboard. For gasoline in diesel anywhere in Elgin, a drainer attends with a pump and a sealed tank, empties the fuel system and refills it. From £89 call-out, usually 45 to 90 minutes on site; ring 01295 380724 for the price before you commit. Gasoline is petrol. In a diesel engine it thins the fuel and takes away the lubrication the pump and injectors need. That is why the ignition is the one thing not to touch.

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 Elgin. 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 you cover all of Elgin?** Yes — forecourts, roadsides, homes and workplaces across Elgin and the surrounding area. **What does it cost in Elgin?** The call-out starts at £89. The full price depends on the vehicle and how far the fuel got, and it is confirmed on 01295 380724 before anyone travels. **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. **The engine is running rough — is that the wrong fuel?** If it started shortly after filling up, very likely. Pull over when it is safe, switch off and call 01295 380724. **Can you drain a van or a lorry?** Vans, yes, routinely. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are quoted separately because of the volume involved. **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. ### 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.
