Ring 01295 380724 and we pass you to a local drainer covering Cork, vehicle and fuel details included. Heating oil is pumped out before a tank is replaced, decommissioned or the house changes hands, with the residue removed too. The drainer confirms their own price and arrival time.

In Ireland we do not run our own vans — we work with local fuel drainers and connect you to one covering Cork. 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. ## Heating oil collection in Cork at a glance Town | Cork | Area | County Cork | Service | Heating oil collection | Price | Set by the local drainer, agreed before travel | Time on site | 1–3 hours | Who attends | An independent local drainer | Phone | 01295 380724, 24 hours | ## How a collection works - Call 01295 380724 with the fuel type and a rough volume in litres. - Agree a price per litre and a collection slot. - Make sure a small tanker can reach the tank or drums. - The carrier pumps the fuel into a sealed bowser. - Residue and sludge are removed and the tank is checked. - You get a waste transfer note before they leave.

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 Cork. 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 take sludge from the bottom of the tank?** Yes. Residue and sludge are removed along with the fuel, and the tank is checked. **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. **How is heating oil collection priced in Cork?** Per litre or per job, depending on volume and access. You get the figure on 01295 380724 before booking. **How much can you take?** From a few drums up to a full commercial tank. Larger jobs are surveyed and scheduled. **Where does the fuel go?** To licensed processing and recycling. It is never poured away or burned. **Do I need to be there?** Only if the tank is not accessible without you. Otherwise, access instructions are enough. ### Who you are dealing with Wrong Fuel Drain is a brand of [Fuel Fixer Ltd](https://www.fuelfixer.co.uk/) (company number 08520551), a company of Fuel Fixer International, the multinational group behind this website.
