The contaminated fuel leaves with them. ## Five things to ask a drainer before they set off A drainer should be happy to answer all of these on the phone. If they will not give a price before travelling, ring someone else. - How long until you reach me in Crayford? - Will you check the filter and pump if the engine ran? - Do you bring clean fuel, and is it included? - Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price? - Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved? ## What drainers deal with in Crayford ## What to do right now - Don't turn the key. - Check what went in: the receipt and the pump number tell you the fuel and the litres. - Call 01295 380724 with those details and your location. - Get a price that covers the whole job, then book. - The drainer arrives, drains the tank, flushes the lines and filter if needed. - You get clean fuel, a running engine and a note of what was removed.

If you are on a motorway hard shoulder, call the emergency services first; the drainer can meet you once the vehicle is somewhere safe. Drainers cover postcode district DA1, and the roads either side of them, across Kent. The drainers who cover Crayford also work Dartford and Barnes Cray, so a call from any of them is handled the same way. ### Drainers nearby [Dartford](/areas/dartford/)[Barnes Cray](/areas/barnes-cray/)[Canterbury](/areas/canterbury/)[Maidstone](/areas/maidstone/)[Rochester](/areas/rochester/)[Ashford](/areas/ashford/)[Dover](/areas/dover/)[Gillingham](/areas/gillingham/)[Sittingbourne](/areas/sittingbourne/)[Tonbridge](/areas/tonbridge/)[Chatham](/areas/chatham/)[Folkestone](/areas/folkestone/)[Margate](/areas/margate/)[Ramsgate](/areas/ramsgate/) ### More of Kent [Canterbury](/areas/canterbury/)[Maidstone](/areas/maidstone/)[Rochester](/areas/rochester/)[Ashford](/areas/ashford/)[Dartford](/areas/dartford/)[Dover](/areas/dover/)[Gillingham](/areas/gillingham/)[Sittingbourne](/areas/sittingbourne/)[Tonbridge](/areas/tonbridge/)[Chatham](/areas/chatham/)[Folkestone](/areas/folkestone/)[Margate](/areas/margate/) ### From the drainer's notebook [Fuel drain near Woolwich London: a drainer's field notes](/blog/fuel-drain-near-woolwich-london/)[Fuel drain near Milton Cambridge: a drainer's field notes](/blog/fuel-drain-near-milton-cambridge/)[Fuel drain near Poole Bournemouth: a drainer's field notes](/blog/fuel-drain-near-poole-bournemouth/)[Fuel drain near Acocks Green Birmingham: a drainer's field notes](/blog/fuel-drain-near-acocks-green-birmingham/)[Fuel drain near Allesley Coventry: a drainer's field notes](/blog/fuel-drain-near-allesley-coventry/)[Fuel drain near Anlaby Hull: a drainer's field notes](/blog/fuel-drain-near-anlaby-hull/) **4.8** out of 5 ★★★★★ Fuel Fixer, the company behind Wrong Fuel Drain, 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 Crayford. 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 **Will my engine be damaged?** Not if it has not been started. The wrong fuel sitting in the tank touches nothing that a drain cannot clear. Damage starts once it circulates. **What does it cost in Crayford?** The call-out starts at £89. The full price depends on the vehicle and how far the fuel got, and it is confirmed on 01295 380724 before anyone travels. **Do you cover all of Crayford?** Yes — forecourts, roadsides, homes and workplaces across Crayford and the surrounding area. **Do I need to stay with the car?** Ideally yes, so the drainer can confirm what happened and hand the keys back. If not, agree access on the phone. **How long does a drain take in Crayford?** Usually 45 to 90 minutes on site once the drainer arrives. Longer if the engine was started, because the filter and lines need flushing as well as the tank. **Do you work at night in Crayford?** Yes. Drainers work 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays. ### Who you are dealing with Wrong Fuel Drain is a brand of [Fuel Fixer Ltd](https://www.fuelfixer.co.uk/) (company number 08520551), a company of Fuel Fixer International, the multinational group behind this website.
