Five things to ask a drainer before they set off
Most bad experiences with a fuel drain come from not asking these up front. Ask them all.
- How long until you reach me in Sutton Coldfield?
- Do you take card payment at the roadside?
- Will you dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it?
- Do you bring clean fuel, and is it included?
- What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain?
What to do right now
- Stop. Do not start the engine, even for a moment.
- Note the fuel type, the amount you put in and whether the car was already low.
- Ring 01295 380724 and give the location — a postcode or the filling station name is enough.
- Get the full price and an arrival time before you agree.
- A drainer attends, drains and flushes the fuel system where the car is parked.
- Clean fuel goes in, the engine is run, and you drive to the next forecourt to fill up.

Answers
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 Sutton Coldfield.
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.
