AdBlue in the petrol tank in Fermoy, Ireland

Short answer

Call 01295 380724 before touching the ignition. We cover Fermoy 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 Fermoy. 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.

What to expect from the drainer in Fermoy

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.

What to ask on the phone before a drainer travels to Fermoy

None of these are awkward questions. Any drainer worth calling will answer them before setting off.

What to do right now

  1. Keep the engine off and put the keys somewhere you will not absent-mindedly use them.
  2. Move the car only by pushing, with help, and only if it is blocking a pump.
  3. Phone 01295 380724 and describe what happened.
  4. Confirm the quote — call-out from £89 — and the arrival window.
  5. The drainer empties the tank into a sealed container and flushes through.
  6. After a refuel and a test run, the waste fuel leaves with the drainer for licensed disposal.

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 Fermoy.

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

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.

Do you cover all of Fermoy?

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

What happens to the fuel you take out?

It goes into a sealed tank on the drainer's van and is taken for licensed disposal and recycling. It is never tipped away.

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.

How long does a drain take in Fermoy?

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.

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.
