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 Newport Pagnell Milton Keynes.
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.
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.
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.
Can I drive to a garage with wrong fuel in a van?
No. Every mile pushes the fuel further through the pump and injectors. A drainer comes to you, so there is no reason to move the car under its own power.
What does it cost in Newport Pagnell Milton Keynes?
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.
