Fuel collection in Moate: tank emptied, paperwork done
Call 01295 380724 before touching the ignition. We cover Moate through partner drainers rather than our own vans, and we will connect you to one nearby. Unwanted, off-spec or surplus fuel is pumped out of tanks, drums and bowsers by a registered carrier and taken for recycling. 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 Moate. 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.

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 Moate.
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
Do I get a waste transfer note for fuel collection?
Yes, at every collection. It documents your duty of care for the fuel.
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 you collect from farms and yards around Moate?
Yes, as well as homes, depots, marinas and commercial sites.
Where does the fuel go?
To licensed processing and recycling. It is never poured away or burned.
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.
How much can you take?
From a few drums up to a full commercial tank. Larger jobs are surveyed and scheduled.
