What a Scottish fuel drainer does in Wormit
The reason people call a drainer rather than a garage after a misfuel in Wormit is that the car does not need to go anywhere. The technician attends, empties the wrong fuel, flushes the system and refills, and the car leaves under its own power.

The difference between an easy fix and a costly one in Wormit is a single action: starting the car. Don't. With the engine off a drainer clears the tank and lines cleanly; with it run, the contamination has already spread. Wait and let them attend.

Common questions
Can I drive with wrong fuel?
No. Starting or driving pumps it through the system and can turn a straightforward drain into an expensive repair. Leave the vehicle where it is and call 01295 380724.
How long does the drain take in Wormit?
About 45 to 90 minutes on site once the technician arrives. Vehicles that were started or driven take longer, because the lines and filter need flushing as well as the tank.
How much does it cost in Wormit?
Most jobs fall between £150 and £1,500 depending on the vehicle, how much wrong fuel is in the tank and whether the engine was started. You get the price on the phone before we travel.
Will it have damaged the engine?
Only if it has been run through the system. Caught before starting, it sits in the tank and a drain removes it cleanly.
Does insurance cover it?
Often not. Most car insurance policies exclude misfuelling as standard, though some breakdown policies and optional add-ons include it. Check your own wording.
Do you cover rural and island Wormit?
Yes. Technicians attend forecourts, roadsides, homes, farms and workplaces across Scotland, including the Highlands and the islands. Remote jobs are quoted with travel included so the price does not move.
