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 Blakelands 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
Can I drive to a garage with wrong fuel?
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.
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.
How quickly can a drainer reach me in Blakelands Milton Keynes?
Usually the same day and often within a couple of hours. The operator gives you an arrival window on 01295 380724 before you agree.
Can I pay by card?
Yes. Card payment is taken on site once the job is done.
Do you work at night in Blakelands Milton Keynes?
Yes. Drainers work 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays.
