# Petrol in the AdBlue tank in Wexford, Ireland
**Short answer**
Don't start it. Petrol in the AdBlue tank in Wexford is handled by a local drainer we work with in Ireland — call 01295 380724 and we hand you over with the details. Petrol in the AdBlue tank damages the SCR components that meter the urea into the exhaust. Drain it before the engine runs. Pricing is the local operator's, agreed with you first.

### 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 Wexford. 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 Wexford
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 Wexford
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.

- How long until you reach me in Wexford?
- Will you check the filter and pump if the engine ran?
- Is the vehicle over 3.5 tonnes, and does that change the price?
- 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?

## 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 Wexford
The drainer comes to the vehicle wherever it is in Wexford, County Wexford, Ireland: pump lane, car park, driveway or kerb. Tell the operator exactly where you are on 01295 380724 — a postcode, a landmark or the name of the filling station — and they will give you an arrival window.

The drainers who cover Wexford also work Bunclody, Courtown, Taghmon and Rosslare, so a call from any of them is handled the same way.

**4.8**
 out of 5 ★★★★★

Fuel Fixer, the company behind Wrong Fuel Drain, holds a rating of 4.8 out of 5 from [2,190 reviews on Trustpilot](https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.fuelfixer.co.uk), 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 Wexford.

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 I drive to a garage with petrol in the adblue tank?**
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.

**Will my engine be damaged?**
Not if it has not been started. The wrong fuel sitting in the tank touches nothing that a drain cannot clear. Damage starts once it circulates.

**I only put a little in — do I still need a drain?**
In most modern diesels, yes. Even a small amount of petrol reduces the lubrication the pump depends on. A drain is cheap compared with a pump.

**How long does a drain take in Wexford?**
Usually 1 to 3 hours on site once the drainer arrives. Longer if the engine was started, because the filter and lines need flushing as well as the tank.

**Can you drain a hire car or a company car?**
Yes. Tell the hire company or fleet manager too; many prefer a drain on site to a recovery.
