Petrol doctor: what to do
The trade name for a mobile drain technician.
What actually happens inside the fuel system
Fuel leaves the tank through the lift pump, passes the filter, reaches the high-pressure pump and then the injectors. Petrol in a diesel system strips the lubrication that high-pressure pump depends on, and metal shed by the pump travels downstream into the injectors. That sequence is the whole story: cost depends on whether the engine ran, and for how long, not on how many litres went in.
Step by step
- Do not start the engine Before the key turns, the problem is in one place. After it, it is in four. That single decision is worth more than anything else on this page.
- Stay put if it is safe to Do not try to reach home, a garage, or a quieter spot. Every mile driven moves contamination further down the fuel system.
- Get clear if it is not On a verge or a hard shoulder, leave the vehicle and stand behind the barrier. Kit can be replaced; you cannot.
- Ring 01293 248666 Have the registration, the fuel type and an idea of the quantity ready. The full price is confirmed on that call, not on arrival.
- The technician works where you are Extraction, line flush, fresh fuel, prime, run-up. Everything needed travels in the van.
- Paperwork and away You get an invoice and we take the contaminated fuel away as controlled waste, properly consigned.

Four point eight, and why it is not five
2,190 Trustpilot reviews average 4.8. Happy customers write about patience: a technician who explained each step instead of hurrying, at an hour when nobody wanted to be standing on a forecourt.
Most of the missing tenth is money. That is understandable, so the numbers sit in plain sight — call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999 — and every figure is agreed by phone first, never revealed on arrival.
Questions we get asked
How long will I be waiting?
Arrival depends where you are across CA1 to CA6 and what is already running. You get a realistic window on the call rather than an optimistic one.
Do you cover all of CA1 to CA6?
Yes, from one rota — so being at one edge of the area rather than the other changes the arrival window, not the price.
What happens to the old fuel?
It leaves with us as controlled waste under a waste transfer note. It is not tipped, and it is not resold to you.
How much does it cost in Carlisle?
Call-out £89 to £199, drain £199 to £1,999. The full price for your vehicle is confirmed on the phone before a technician sets off, so there is no surprise when we arrive.
