--- title: Misfuel in Thame: local drainer from £89 url: https://wrongfueldrain.com/misfuel/thame/ focus: misfuel thame phone: 01295 380724 updated: 2026-10-06 --- # Misfuel in Thame? Drained where it stands **Short answer** Before anything else, keep the key out of the ignition. A drainer covering Thame can be with you the same day for misfuel, drain it where the car stands and have you moving in about 45 to 90 minutes. The misfuel call-out is £89 and the total is quoted on 01295 380724 before they travel. Misfuelling is the trade's word for filling up with the wrong fuel. It is fixed on site with a drain and a flush. That is why the ignition is the one thing not to touch.

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. ## What to ask on the phone before a drainer travels to Thame None of these are awkward questions. Any drainer worth calling will answer them before setting off. - Will you dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it? - Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price? - What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain? - Is there an extra charge at night or at the weekend? - Do you take card payment at the roadside? ## 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.

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 Thame. 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 **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 I pay by card?** Yes. Card payment is taken on site once the job is done. **Can I drive to a garage with misfuel?** No. Every mile pushes the fuel further through the pump and injectors. A drainer comes to you, so there is no reason to move the car under its own power. **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 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. **Does insurance cover misfuel?** Many policies exclude misfuelling. Some breakdown cover and optional add-ons include it. Check your policy wording before assuming either way. ### 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.
