## On arrival in Esher: what happens next

## What to ask on the phone before a drainer travels to Esher
Most bad experiences with a fuel drain come from not asking these up front. Ask them all.

- Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved?
- Will you dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it?
- Do you bring clean fuel, and is it included?
- Will you check the filter and pump if the engine ran?
- Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price?

## What to do right now
- Keep the engine off and put the keys somewhere you will not absent-mindedly use them.
- Move the car only by pushing, with help, and only if it is blocking a pump.
- Phone 01295 380724 and describe what happened.
- Confirm the quote — call-out from £89 — and the arrival window.
- The drainer empties the tank into a sealed container and flushes through.
- After a refuel and a test run, the waste fuel leaves with the drainer for licensed disposal.

**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 Esher.

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.

**I only put a little in — do I still need a drain?**
In most modern diesels, yes. Even a small amount of petrol reduces the lubrication the pump depends on. A drain is cheap compared with a pump.

**Can you drain a van or a lorry?**
Vans, yes, routinely. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are quoted separately because of the volume involved.

**Do you work at night in Esher?**
Yes. Drainers work 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays.

**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.

**How quickly can a drainer reach me in Esher?**
Usually the same day and often within a couple of hours. The operator gives you an arrival window on 01295 380724 before you agree.
