Wrong fuel in Strood?
Leave the key alone
Wrong fuel in Strood: do not start the engine, and call 01295 380724. A unit attends ME2 and the rest of Maidstone, drains the tank where the vehicle stands, flushes the lines and refills with clean fuel. Typically 45 to 90 minutes on site.
The vehicle is not moved. That is the point of a mobile drain, and it is also what protects the fuel system.
01295 380724Tap to call, any hourAround Maidstone the common thread is an unfamiliar vehicle: a hire car, a van, a first tank after changing cars. What changes the bill is not how much went in, but whether the engine has run since.
