Local drainer for water in screen wash tank in Cheylesmore Coventry
Stop, switch nothing on, and call 01295 380724. Local drainers across Cheylesmore Coventry handle water in the screen wash tank every week: tank out, lines flushed, clean fuel in, all where the vehicle is parked. Expect 45 to 90 minutes on site and a call-out from £89, with the full price given before they leave for you.
What matters most is whether the fuel has moved beyond the tank. Plain water in the washer bottle freezes in winter and can crack the bottle, the pump or the lines; it is drained and refilled with proper fluid.

What to expect from the drainer in Cheylesmore Coventry
The drainer parks up, checks the vehicle has not been started and makes the area safe with cones and a drip tray. The fuel is pumped out through the filler or the fuel line into a sealed tank on the van, the lines are flushed, a few litres of the right fuel go in, and the engine is started and run until it idles cleanly. The contaminated fuel leaves with them.
Questions worth asking before you book a drain in Cheylesmore Coventry
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?
- 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 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 Cheylesmore Coventry.
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 you bring fuel?
Yes. The drainer adds enough of the correct fuel to start the engine and reach a filling station.
How long does a drain take in Cheylesmore Coventry?
Usually 45 to 90 minutes on site once the drainer arrives. Longer if the engine was started, because the filter and lines need flushing as well as the tank.
Does insurance cover water in the screen wash tank?
Many policies exclude misfuelling. Some breakdown cover and optional add-ons include it. Check your policy wording before assuming either way.
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 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.
What does it cost in Cheylesmore Coventry?
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.
