AdBlue in the petrol tank in Ranelagh Dublin, Ireland

Short answer

Call 01295 380724 before touching the ignition. We cover Ranelagh Dublin 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 Ranelagh Dublin. 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 the drainer does when they reach you in Ranelagh Dublin

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.

Five things to ask a drainer before they set off

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

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 Ranelagh Dublin.

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.

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.

Is the drain messy?

No. The fuel is pumped into a sealed tank on the van, and a drip tray catches anything from the connection. The area is left as it was.

What does it cost in Ranelagh Dublin?

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.

Can you drain a hire car or a company car?

Yes. Tell the hire company or fleet manager too; many prefer a drain on site to a recovery.

Do I need to stay with the car?

Ideally yes, so the drainer can confirm what happened and hand the keys back. If not, agree access on the phone.
