For adblue in the diesel tank in Athlone we connect you to an independent local drainer who covers the area, so you only explain it once. AdBlue is a urea and water solution meant for the exhaust. In the fuel tank it crystallises and corrodes, so the tank and lines have to be drained and flushed. Their price and arrival time are confirmed by them before they set off.

In Ireland we do not run our own vans — we work with local fuel drainers and connect you to one covering Athlone. Call 01295 380724 and we will pass you straight to a drainer in your area with the details of the vehicle and the fuels involved, so you are not repeating the story twice. Pricing and attendance times are set by the local operator, not by us, so ask them to confirm both before they travel. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank in Athlone in numbers Town | Athlone | Area | County Westmeath | Job | AdBlue in the diesel tank | Price | Set by the local drainer, agreed before travel | Time on site | 1–3 hours | Who attends | An independent local drainer | Phone | 01295 380724, 24 hours | ## What to expect from the drainer in Athlone First they confirm what went in and how much, and whether the engine ran — that decides how far they need to go. Then the tank is emptied into a sealed container, the fuel lines and filter are flushed where needed, clean fuel is added and the vehicle is started and checked before they sign it off. ## Questions worth asking before you book a drain in Athlone None of these are awkward questions. Any drainer worth calling will answer them before setting off. - Will you dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it? - How long until you reach me in Athlone? - Do you take card payment at the roadside? - Do you bring clean fuel, and is it included? - Will you check the filter and pump if the engine ran? ## What to do right now - Don't press the start button or turn the key. - Take a photo of the pump display: it shows the fuel type and the litres. - Ring 01295 380724 and describe where the car is. - Agree the price before booking — the call-out starts at £89. - The drainer empties the tank and flushes the system where the car stands. - They refuel, start the engine and check it before handing back the keys.

The rest are at the roadside after the car cut out, or on a drive the next morning. All three work; the vehicle does not need to be towed anywhere. If you are just outside Athlone, you are probably still in range: Moate, Castlepollard, Kilbeggan and Kinnegad are all covered by the same drainers. ### Other drains in Athlone [Heating oil collection in Athlone](/heating-oil-collection/athlone/)[Screen wash in petrol tank in Athlone](/screen-wash-in-petrol-tank/athlone/)[Kerosene disposal in Athlone](/kerosene-disposal/athlone/)[Water in screen wash tank in Athlone](/water-in-screen-wash-tank/athlone/)[Mobile fuel drain in Athlone](/mobile-fuel-drain/athlone/)[Wrong fuel in van in Athlone](/wrong-fuel-in-a-van/athlone/)[Fuel disposal in Athlone](/fuel-disposal/athlone/)[Fuel collection in Athlone](/fuel-collection/athlone/)[AdBlue in diesel in Athlone](/adblue-in-diesel/athlone/)[Contaminated fuel collection in Athlone](/contaminated-fuel-collection/athlone/)[Fuel fixer in Athlone](/fuel-fixer/athlone/)[Kerosene collection in Athlone](/kerosene-collection/athlone/)[Diesel in AdBlue tank in Athlone](/diesel-in-adblue-tank/athlone/)[Wrong fuel rescue in Athlone](/wrong-fuel-rescue/athlone/)[Gasoline in diesel in Athlone](/gasoline-in-diesel/athlone/)[AdBlue in petrol tank in Athlone](/adblue-in-petrol-tank/athlone/) ### Drainers nearby [Mullingar](/areas/mullingar/)[Moate](/areas/moate/)[Kinnegad](/areas/kinnegad/)[Castlepollard](/areas/castlepollard/)[Kilbeggan](/areas/kilbeggan/) ### More of County Westmeath [Castlepollard](/adblue-in-diesel-tank/castlepollard/)[Kilbeggan](/adblue-in-diesel-tank/kilbeggan/)[Kinnegad](/adblue-in-diesel-tank/kinnegad/)[Moate](/adblue-in-diesel-tank/moate/)[Mullingar](/adblue-in-diesel-tank/mullingar/) ### From the drainer's notebook [Fuel drain in Gracedieu Waterford: how it works in Ireland](/blog/fuel-drain-in-gracedieu-waterford-how-ireland-works/)[Fuel drain in Islandbridge Dublin Dublin: how it works in Ireland](/blog/fuel-drain-in-islandbridge-dublin-dublin-how-ireland-works/)[Fuel drain in Kimmage Dublin: how it works in Ireland](/blog/fuel-drain-in-kimmage-dublin-how-ireland-works/)[Fuel drain in Marino Dublin: how it works in Ireland](/blog/fuel-drain-in-marino-dublin-how-ireland-works/)[Fuel drain in Monkstown Dublin: how it works in Ireland](/blog/fuel-drain-in-monkstown-dublin-how-ireland-works/) ### Answers [What happens if you put adblue in diesel tank?](/answers/what-happens-if-you-put-adblue-in-diesel-tank/)[What happens if i put adblue in my diesel tank?](/answers/what-happens-if-i-put-adblue-in-my-diesel-tank/)[What happens if you put a small amount of adblue in diesel tank?](/answers/what-happens-if-you-put-a-small-amount-of-adblue-in-diesel-tank/)[I ve put adblue in my diesel tank?](/answers/i-ve-put-adblue-in-my-diesel-tank/)[What happens if you put adblue in your diesel tank?](/answers/what-happens-if-you-put-adblue-in-your-diesel-tank/) **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 Athlone. 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 is set by the local drainer in Ireland 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 work at night in Athlone?** Yes. Drainers work 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays. **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. **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. **Does insurance cover adblue in the diesel tank?** Many policies exclude misfuelling. Some breakdown cover and optional add-ons include it. Check your policy wording before assuming either way. **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. **What does it cost in Athlone?** 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. ### 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.
