For petrol in the adblue tank anywhere in Ashton, a drainer attends with a pump and a sealed tank, empties the fuel system and refills it. From £89 call-out, usually 1 to 3 hours on site; ring 01295 380724 for the price before you commit. The mechanism is simple. Petrol in the AdBlue tank damages the SCR components that meter the urea into the exhaust. Drain it before the engine runs.

The fuel is pumped out through the filler or the fuel line into a sealed tank on the van, the lines are flushed, a few litres of the right fuel go in, and the engine is started and run until it idles cleanly. The contaminated fuel leaves with them. ## Before you agree a price: what to ask 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. - Will you dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it? - How much more if the engine has already been started? - Do you take card payment at the roadside? - How long until you reach me in Ashton? - Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved? ## What to do right now - Keep the engine off and put the keys somewhere you will not absent-mindedly use them. - Move the car only by pushing, with help, and only if it is blocking a pump. - Phone 01295 380724 and describe what happened. - Confirm the quote — call-out from £89 — and the arrival window. - The drainer empties the tank into a sealed container and flushes through. - After a refuel and a test run, the waste fuel leaves with the drainer for licensed disposal.

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 Ashton. 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 **How long does a drain take in Ashton?** Usually 1 to 3 hours 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 cover all of Ashton?** Yes — forecourts, roadsides, homes and workplaces across Ashton and the surrounding area. **Can you drain a van or a lorry?** Vans, yes, routinely. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are quoted separately because of the volume involved. **Do you work at night in Ashton?** Yes. Drainers work 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays. **Will the car need a service afterwards?** Not after a straight drain. If the engine ran on the wrong fuel, the drainer will tell you whether the filter should be changed. **Do I need to move the car off the forecourt?** Only if it is blocking a pump. Push it into a bay with help and the engine off; the drainer can work there. ### 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.
