Contaminated fuel collection in Athy by a licensed carrier
Don't start it. Contaminated fuel collection in Athy is handled by a local drainer we work with in Ireland — call 01295 380724 and we hand you over with the details. Water-logged, bugged or mixed fuel is uplifted from the tank with the sludge, and a waste transfer note is issued there and then. Pricing is the local operator's, agreed with you first.
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 Athy. 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.

How a collection works
- Work out what the fuel is and roughly how much there is.
- Ring 01295 380724 for a per-litre price.

- A registered carrier uplifts the fuel on the day.
- The tank is emptied and any sludge is taken too.
- The paperwork is issued on site and the fuel goes for recycling.

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 Athy.
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
Where does the fuel go?
To licensed processing and recycling. It is never poured away or burned.
Do you collect from farms and yards around Athy?
Yes, as well as homes, depots, marinas and commercial sites.
Is old heating oil still usable?
Sometimes, if it is clean. If it has water or sludge in it, collection and disposal is the safer option.
Do I get a waste transfer note for contaminated fuel collection?
Yes, at every collection. It documents your duty of care for the fuel.
Can you take sludge from the bottom of the tank?
Yes. Residue and sludge are removed along with the fuel, and the tank is checked.
Do I need to be there?
Only if the tank is not accessible without you. Otherwise, access instructions are enough.
