Water in the AdBlue tank in Isle Of Skye: a local drainer comes to you
Do not turn the ignition, not even to check the dashboard. For water in the adblue tank anywhere in Isle Of Skye, a drainer attends with a pump and a sealed tank, empties the fuel system and refills it. From £89 call-out, usually 1 to 3 hours on site; ring 01295 380724 for the price before you commit.
AdBlue is a precise mix. Extra water takes it out of specification and the exhaust treatment system logs a fault. Left sitting in the tank, it is a small job.

When a drainer arrives in Isle Of Skye
Expect a van with a pump and a sealed waste tank. The drainer drains the tank, flushes the system through, refuels with enough clean fuel to reach a forecourt, then starts the engine and lets it settle. You do not need a garage and the vehicle does not move until it is ready.
Five things to ask a drainer before they set off
None of these are awkward questions. Any drainer worth calling will answer them before setting off.
- How long until you reach me in Isle Of Skye?
- Will you dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it?
- Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved?
- Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price?
- Is there an extra charge at night or at the weekend?
What to do right now
- Don't press the start button or turn the key.
- Take a photo of the pump display: it shows the fuel type and the litres.
- Ring 01295 380724 and describe where the car is.
- Agree the price before booking — the call-out starts at £89.
- The drainer empties the tank and flushes the system where the car stands.
- They refuel, start the engine and check it before handing back the keys.

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 Isle Of Skye.
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
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.
How quickly can a drainer reach me in Isle Of Skye?
Usually the same day and often within a couple of hours. The operator gives you an arrival window on 01295 380724 before you agree.
What does it cost in Isle Of Skye?
The call-out starts at £89. The full price depends on the vehicle and how far the fuel got, and it is confirmed on 01295 380724 before anyone travels.
Do you cover all of Isle Of Skye?
Yes — forecourts, roadsides, homes and workplaces across Isle Of Skye and the surrounding area.
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.
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.
