# Local drainer for water in screen wash tank in Fillongley
**Short answer**
Stop, switch nothing on, and call 01295 380724. Local drainers across Fillongley 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.

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. That is why the ignition is the one thing not to touch.

## What to expect from the drainer in Fillongley
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.

## Before you agree a price: what to ask
None of these are awkward questions. Any drainer worth calling will answer them before setting off.

- Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved?
- How much more if the engine has already been started?
- 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?
- Will you check the filter and pump if the engine ran?

## What to do right now
- Leave the key out of the ignition and do not unlock the steering to push the car.
- If you are at the pump, tell the cashier; most forecourts will let the car stay in a bay.
- Call 01295 380724. Say what fuel went in, roughly how much, and where you are.
- Agree the price on the phone. Nobody travels until you have.
- The drainer pumps out the tank, flushes the lines and adds clean fuel.
- They start the engine, check it runs cleanly and take the old fuel away.

**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 Fillongley.

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

**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.

**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 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.

**Is the drain messy?**
No. The fuel is pumped into a sealed tank on the van, and a drip tray catches anything from the connection. The area is left as it was.

**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.

**Will you bring fuel?**
Yes. The drainer adds enough of the correct fuel to start the engine and reach a filling station.
