What this repository offers is a consultation, and it costs nothing. Phone 01295 380724 and you will speak to one of our engine scientists, fuel-system engineers and misfuel specialists — people who work on contaminated fuel systems in Eltham for a living and would be glad to help.

Tell them what went into the tank, roughly how much, what the vehicle is, and whether the engine has run. They will work out the concentration with you, tell you which components are exposed, and set out the realistic outcomes.

There is nothing to buy and no obligation of any kind. If the honest answer is that you need nobody at all, that is the answer you will be given — and roughly a third of callers are in exactly that position.

**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 Eltham.

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 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 Eltham is documented.

**How much does fuel collection cost in Eltham?**
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.

**Can you take contaminated or sludged fuel?**
Yes. Water ingress, diesel bug, mixed fuel and tank sludge are all handled, including residue removal and a tank check.

**Where does the fuel go?**
It leaves with a registered waste carrier and is processed for recycling through licensed channels. It is never poured away or burned off.

**Do you cover Eltham?**
Yes. Collections are made across Eltham from homes, farms, depots, marinas and commercial sites.
