Fuel drainers covering Dungarvan
In Dungarvan, as everywhere in Ireland, we work through local drainers. Call 01295 380724 and we connect you with one nearby, vehicle and fuel details included; price and arrival are theirs to confirm.
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 Dungarvan. 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.

Dungarvan, from the van
The mistake is usually spotted within seconds — the price looks wrong, or the nozzle colour registers late. That is the best time to catch it, because the engine has not run.
What the drainer does when they reach you in Dungarvan
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.
Before you agree a price: what to ask
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.
- Do you take card payment at the roadside?
- What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain?
- Do you bring clean fuel, and is it included?
- How long until you reach me in Dungarvan?
- Will you check the filter and pump if the engine ran?

What to do right now
- Leave the ignition alone — on many cars even unlocking it powers the fuel pump.
- Push the car clear of the pump if needed, with someone steering and the engine off.
- Call 01295 380724 and give the fuel, the amount and your exact location.
- Ask for the whole price, not just the call-out, and agree it.
- The drainer drains the tank into a sealed container and flushes the lines.
- Fresh fuel goes in, the engine is started and the waste fuel leaves with the drainer.
Forecourt, roadside or drive: where we drain in Dungarvan
Supermarket forecourts, independent filling stations, lay-bys, motorway services, residential streets, home drives and workplace car parks across Dungarvan, County Waterford, Ireland. If you can safely leave the vehicle there, a drainer can usually work there.
The drainers who cover Dungarvan also work Portlaw, Dunmore East, Ardmore and Lismore, so a call from any of them is handled the same way.
From the drainer's notebook
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 Dungarvan.
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 you drain a van or a lorry?
Vans, yes, routinely. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are quoted separately because of the volume involved.
Do you cover all of Dungarvan?
Yes — forecourts, roadsides, homes and workplaces across Dungarvan and the surrounding area.
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.
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.
What does it cost in Dungarvan?
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.
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.
