**4.8**
 out of 5 ★★★★★

Fuel Fixer, the company behind Misfuel Doctor, 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 Exeter.

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 now starts at just £89 and why the full figure is quoted on the phone 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 disposal?**
Yes. Fuel is a controlled waste, and a waste transfer note is issued on site at every collection so your duty of care in Exeter is documented.

**How much does fuel disposal cost in Exeter?**
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 Exeter?**
Yes. Collections are made across Exeter from homes, farms, depots, marinas and commercial sites.
