Fuel doctor in Foxford: a local drainer
The same rule applies in Ireland: engine off. Ring 01295 380724 and we pass you to a local drainer covering Foxford, vehicle and fuel details included. A fuel doctor is simply a mobile drainer: they come out, confirm what went in, drain it and get the engine running again. 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 Foxford. 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.

When a drainer arrives in Foxford
The job is quieter than people expect. Tank drained into the van, lines flushed, clean fuel added, engine started and watched for a few minutes. The waste fuel is logged and taken for licensed disposal, and you get a receipt showing what was done.
What to ask on the phone before a drainer travels to Foxford
You are going to pay for the job, so it is worth two minutes on the phone first. These are the questions that separate a straight quote from a surprise at the roadside.
- Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved?
- Do you bring clean fuel, and is it included?
- What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain?
- How much more if the engine has already been started?
- How long until you reach me in Foxford?
What to do right now
- Don't turn the key.
- Check what went in: the receipt and the pump number tell you the fuel and the litres.
- Call 01295 380724 with those details and your location.
- Get a price that covers the whole job, then book.
- The drainer arrives, drains the tank, flushes the lines and filter if needed.
- You get clean fuel, a running engine and a note of what was removed.
Where a drain can happen around Foxford
Most drains in Foxford happen on the forecourt where the mistake was made. The rest are at the roadside after the car cut out, or on a drive the next morning. All three work; the vehicle does not need to be towed anywhere.
If you are just outside Foxford, you are probably still in range: Castlebar, Kiltimagh, Charlestown and Ballina are all covered by the same drainers.

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 Foxford.
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
What does it cost in Foxford?
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.
Does insurance cover fuel doctor?
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.
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 work at night in Foxford?
Yes. Drainers work 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays.
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.
