Misfuel in Havant, drained on the spot
The single most useful thing you can do now is nothing — leave the engine off. Then call 01295 380724. A drainer who works Havant drains misfuel on the spot, flushes through and refuels, typically in 45 to 90 minutes, with a call-out from £89 confirmed up front.
Misfuelling is the trade's word for filling up with the wrong fuel. It is fixed on site with a drain and a flush.

What to expect from the drainer in Havant
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.
Before you agree a price: what to ask
Most bad experiences with a fuel drain come from not asking these up front. Ask them all.
- What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain?
- Do you take card payment at the roadside?
- How much more if the engine has already been started?
- Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved?
- Will you check the filter and pump if the engine ran?
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.

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