Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much does a fuel drain cost? expand_more
The cost of a mobile fuel drain depends on your exact location, the type of vehicle, and whether the engine was started after misfueling. Because every situation is unique, we provide an instant, fixed-price quote over the phone with absolutely no hidden fees. Call us for immediate pricing.
2. I started the engine, is it ruined? expand_more
Not necessarily. While starting the engine pulls contaminated fuel through the fuel lines and injectors—requiring a much more thorough and deeper flush—we are successful in getting 99% of vehicles running again without requiring expensive replacement parts. However, you must turn off the engine immediately and not restart it.
3. How long will it take you to arrive? expand_more
We pride ourselves on our rapid response times. On average, our mobile units reach customers within 30 to 45 minutes of their call. When you phone us, our dispatch team will give you a highly accurate ETA based on live traffic data.
4. Will my insurance cover a wrong fuel drain? expand_more
Some comprehensive insurance policies or premium breakdown covers include misfueling, but it is often an add-on. We always provide a full, itemized VAT receipt upon completion of the job, which you can use to claim the cost back from your insurance provider if you are covered.
5. What happens to the contaminated fuel? expand_more
We are fully licensed by the Environment Agency for the safe carriage and disposal of hazardous waste. The mixed fuel is safely pumped into our secure onboard UN-approved tanks and taken to a specialized recycling facility where it is repurposed ethically.
6. Are you fully insured to work on my car? expand_more
Absolutely. All our technicians carry full motor trade and public liability insurance. Furthermore, our technicians hold SPA (Safety Pass Alliance) Petrol Retail Passports, meaning they are officially certified to work safely on petrol station forecourts.
