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 Athlone. 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 **How much can you take?** From a few drums up to a full commercial tank. Larger jobs are surveyed and scheduled. **Do I need to be there?** Only if the tank is not accessible without you. Otherwise, access instructions are enough. **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. **Where does the fuel go?** To licensed processing and recycling. It is never poured away or burned. **How is heating oil disposal priced in Athlone?** Per litre or per job, depending on volume and access. You get the figure on 01295 380724 before booking. **Do you collect from farms and yards around Athlone?** Yes, as well as homes, depots, marinas and commercial sites. ### 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.
