Misfuel in Courtown, Ireland
Keys out, then ring 01295 380724. For misfuel in Courtown we connect you to an independent local drainer who covers the area, so you only explain it once. Misfuelling is the trade's word for filling up with the wrong fuel. It is fixed on site with a drain and a flush. Their price and arrival time are confirmed by them before they set off.
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 Courtown. 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.

What the drainer does when they reach you in Courtown
A good drainer asks three questions before touching anything: what fuel went in, how full the tank is, and whether the engine was started. The answers decide whether it is a straight drain or a drain plus a flush of the filter and pump. Either way it happens where the vehicle is parked.
Five things to ask a drainer before they set off
A drainer should be happy to answer all of these on the phone. If they will not give a price before travelling, ring someone else.
- Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price?
- Will you dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it?
- How much more if the engine has already been started?
- Do you take card payment at the roadside?
- What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain?
What to do right now
- Stop. Do not start the engine, even for a moment.
- Note the fuel type, the amount you put in and whether the car was already low.
- Ring 01295 380724 and give the location — a postcode or the filling station name is enough.
- Get the full price and an arrival time before you agree.
- A drainer attends, drains and flushes the fuel system where the car is parked.
- Clean fuel goes in, the engine is run, and you drive to the next forecourt to fill up.
Forecourt, roadside or drive: where we drain in Courtown
Most drains in Courtown 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.
The drainers who cover Courtown also work Enniscorthy, Gorey, Ferns and Bunclody, so a call from any of them is handled the same way.
Other drains in Courtown
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 Courtown.
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
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.
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.
Can I drive to a garage with misfuel?
No. Every mile pushes the fuel further through the pump and injectors. A drainer comes to you, so there is no reason to move the car under its own power.
What happens to the fuel you take out?
It goes into a sealed tank on the drainer's van and is taken for licensed disposal and recycling. It is never tipped away.
Do I need to move the car off the forecourt?
Only if it is blocking a pump. Push it into a bay with help and the engine off; the drainer can work there.
The engine is running rough — is that the wrong fuel?
If it started shortly after filling up, very likely. Pull over when it is safe, switch off and call 01295 380724.
