**4.8**
 out of 5 ★★★★★

Fuel Fixer, the company behind UK Wrong Fuel Repository, 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 Birstall Leicester.

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 is free and why published repair figures span two orders of magnitude before a technician sets off — so nothing about the cost is a surprise at the roadside.

## Common questions

**Do you issue a waste transfer note for contaminated fuel collection?**
Yes. Fuel is a controlled waste, and a waste transfer note is issued on site at every collection so your duty of care in Birstall Leicester is documented.

**How much does contaminated fuel collection cost in Birstall Leicester?**
It is priced per litre or per job depending on volume, access and fuel type. You get the figure on the phone before anyone travels — call 01295 380724.

**How much can you take in one visit?**
Anything from a few drums to a full commercial tank. Domestic collections are usually done in one to two hours; bulk and bunded stores are surveyed and scheduled.

Yes. Water ingress, diesel bug, mixed fuel and tank sludge are all handled, including residue removal and a tank check.

It leaves with a registered waste carrier and is processed for recycling through licensed channels. It is never poured away or burned off.
