## What to expect from the drainer in Ernesettle Plymouth
On a forecourt the drainer will usually move the vehicle off the pump lane first, by hand, with the engine off. Then it is drain, flush, refuel and start. At home or at work they can do the whole thing on the drive or in the car park without moving it at all.

## 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 much more if the engine has already been started?
- Is there an extra charge at night or at the weekend?
- Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price?
- Do you take card payment at the roadside?
- What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain?

## 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.

**4.8**
 out of 5 ★★★★★

Fuel Fixer, the company behind Wrong Fuel Drain, holds a rating of 4.8 out of 5 from [2,190 reviews on Trustpilot](https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.fuelfixer.co.uk), 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 Ernesettle Plymouth.

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

**Will the car need a service afterwards?**
Not after a straight drain. If the engine ran on the wrong fuel, the drainer will tell you whether the filter should be changed.

**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.

**Do you cover all of Ernesettle Plymouth?**
Yes — forecourts, roadsides, homes and workplaces across Ernesettle Plymouth and the surrounding area.

**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.

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

**Can you drain a hire car or a company car?**
Yes. Tell the hire company or fleet manager too; many prefer a drain on site to a recovery.
