About AFF

AFF is a specialist roadside fuel drain service, focused on one thing: safely removing the wrong fuel from vehicles and getting drivers moving again.

Trusted by private motorists and by the insurers and breakdown networks who send us to their own customers, we've built our reputation on doing a specialist job to a professional standard.

Our story

Specialists in fuel drain since 2006

AFF built its first fuel drain unit in 2006 and has focused on misfuelling ever since. While others treat fuel drain as a sideline to general recovery, it has always been our specialism.

Through collaboration with industry leaders, we helped create a recognised benchmark for safety and quality in our field: the Roadside Fuel Recovery Standard, of which we are founder members. That focus is why motorists, insurers and breakdown networks trust us with the job.
