AdBlue in the screen wash tank in Ranelagh Dublin, Ireland

Short answer

The same rule applies in Ireland: engine off. Ring 01295 380724 and we pass you to a local drainer covering Ranelagh Dublin, vehicle and fuel details included. AdBlue in the washer bottle leaves a crystalline film on the glass and attacks seals and paint, so the bottle and lines are drained. The drainer confirms their own price and arrival time.

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.

On arrival in Ranelagh Dublin: what happens next

The drainer parks up, checks the vehicle has not been started and makes the area safe with cones and a drip tray. The fuel is pumped out through the filler or the fuel line into a sealed tank on the van, the lines are flushed, a few litres of the right fuel go in, and the engine is started and run until it idles cleanly. The contaminated fuel leaves with them.

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 key out of the ignition and do not unlock the steering to push the car.
  2. If you are at the pump, tell the cashier; most forecourts will let the car stay in a bay.
  3. Call 01295 380724. Say what fuel went in, roughly how much, and where you are.
  4. Agree the price on the phone. Nobody travels until you have.
  5. The drainer pumps out the tank, flushes the lines and adds clean fuel.
  6. They start the engine, check it runs cleanly and take the old fuel away.

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

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.

Will you bring fuel?

Yes. The drainer adds enough of the correct fuel to start the engine and reach a filling station.

Can I drive to a garage with adblue in the screen wash 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 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.

How long does a drain take in Ranelagh Dublin?

Usually 45 to 90 minutes on site once the drainer arrives. Longer if the engine was started, because the filter and lines need flushing as well as the tank.

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.
