--- title: Petrol in AdBlue tank in Leicester: local drainer from £89 url: https://wrongfueldrain.com/petrol-in-adblue-tank/leicester/ focus: petrol in the adblue tank leicester phone: 01295 380724 updated: 2026-10-06 --- # Petrol in the AdBlue tank in Leicester, drained on the spot **Short answer** Before anything else, keep the key out of the ignition. A drainer covering Leicester can be with you the same day for petrol in the adblue tank, drain it where the car stands and have you moving in about 1 to 3 hours. The misfuel call-out is £89 and the total is quoted on 01295 380724 before they travel. What matters most is whether the fuel has moved beyond the tank. Petrol in the AdBlue tank damages the SCR components that meter the urea into the exhaust. Drain it before the engine runs. [Call 01295 380724 — 24/7, nationwide](tel:+441295380724) ## The short version: petrol in the adblue tank in Leicester Place | Leicester | Area | Leicestershire | Postcodes | LE1, LE2, LE3, LE4, LE5, LE6 | Job | Petrol in the AdBlue tank | Price | Call-out from £89, full price quoted first | Time on site | 1–3 hours | Who attends | A local drainer with a pump and sealed tank | Phone | 01295 380724, 24 hours | ## When a drainer arrives in Leicester 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. ## What to ask on the phone before a drainer travels to Leicester A drainer should be happy to answer all of these on the phone. If they will not give a price before travelling, ring someone else. - Will you check the filter and pump if the engine ran? - How long until you reach me in Leicester? - Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved? - 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? ## 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.

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 Leicester. 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 **How quickly can a drainer reach me in Leicester?** Usually the same day and often within a couple of hours. The operator gives you an arrival window on 01295 380724 before you agree. **Does insurance cover petrol in the adblue tank?** Many policies exclude misfuelling. Some breakdown cover and optional add-ons include it. Check your policy wording before assuming either way. **Can you drain a van or a lorry?** Vans, yes, routinely. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are quoted separately because of the volume involved. **I only put a little in — do I still need a drain?** In most modern diesels, yes. Even a small amount of petrol reduces the lubrication the pump depends on. A drain is cheap compared with a pump. **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. ### 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.
