Wrong fuel rescue in Church, drained on the spot
Do not turn the ignition, not even to check the dashboard. For wrong fuel rescue anywhere in Church, a drainer attends with a pump and a sealed tank, empties the fuel system and refills it. From £89 call-out, usually 45 to 90 minutes on site; ring 01295 380724 for the price before you commit.
Here is why it matters. One phone call gets a drainer to the vehicle; they drain it, flush it, refuel it and leave, without a tow truck or a garage.

On arrival in Church: what happens next
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.
What to ask on the phone before a drainer travels to Church
None of these are awkward questions. Any drainer worth calling will answer them before setting off.
- What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain?
- Do you bring clean fuel, and is it included?
- Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved?
- Will you check the filter and pump if the engine ran?
- How long until you reach me in Church?
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.

Answers
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 Church.
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
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 stay with the car?
Ideally yes, so the drainer can confirm what happened and hand the keys back. If not, agree access on the phone.
Can I drive to a garage with wrong fuel rescue?
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.
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.
What does it cost in Church?
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.
Will you bring fuel?
Yes. The drainer adds enough of the correct fuel to start the engine and reach a filling station.
