AdBlue in the petrol tank in Farranree Cork, Ireland

Short answer

Call 01295 380724 before touching the ignition. We cover Farranree Cork through partner drainers rather than our own vans, and we will connect you to one nearby. AdBlue is mostly water with urea in it; in a petrol tank it corrodes the fuel system and needs a full drain and flush. They quote and confirm before travelling.

How Ireland works

Wrong Fuel Drain operates its own mobile technicians across the UK. In Ireland we do not run our own vans — we work with local fuel drainers and connect you to one covering Farranree Cork. 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.

The drain itself, step by step in Farranree Cork

They bring the fuel. Once the tank is empty and the lines are flushed, the drainer adds enough of the correct fuel to get the engine running and to reach a filling station, then checks for warning lights before handing the keys back.

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.

What to do right now

  1. Leave the ignition alone — on many cars even unlocking it powers the fuel pump.
  2. Push the car clear of the pump if needed, with someone steering and the engine off.
  3. Call 01295 380724 and give the fuel, the amount and your exact location.
  4. Ask for the whole price, not just the call-out, and agree it.
  5. The drainer drains the tank into a sealed container and flushes the lines.
  6. Fresh fuel goes in, the engine is started and the waste fuel leaves with the drainer.

From the drainer's notebook

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, 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 Farranree Cork.

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

The engine is running rough — is that the wrong fuel?

If it started shortly after filling up, very likely. Pull over when it is safe, switch off and call 01295 380724.

Can I drive to a garage with adblue in the petrol tank?

No. Every mile pushes the fuel further through the pump and injectors. A drainer comes to you, so there is no reason to move the car under its own power.

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.

I only put a little in — do I still need a drain?

In most modern diesels, yes. Even a small amount of petrol reduces the lubrication the pump depends on. A drain is cheap compared with a pump.

Do you cover all of Farranree Cork?

Yes — forecourts, roadsides, homes and workplaces across Farranree Cork and the surrounding area.

Does insurance cover adblue in the petrol tank?

Many policies exclude misfuelling. Some breakdown cover and optional add-ons include it. Check your policy wording before assuming either way.
