Water in the petrol tank in Curraheen Cork, Ireland
Keys out, then ring 01295 380724. For water in the petrol tank in Curraheen Cork we connect you to an independent local drainer who covers the area, so you only explain it once.

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 Curraheen 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.

When a drainer arrives in Curraheen Cork

What to ask on the phone before a drainer travels to Curraheen Cork
Most bad experiences with a fuel drain come from not asking these up front. Ask them all.
- Will you dispose of the contaminated fuel, and can I have a note of it?
- What is the total, not just the call-out, if it is a straight drain?
- Do you bring clean fuel, and is it included?
- Is there an extra charge at night or at the weekend?
- Can you work on the forecourt, or does the car need to be moved?
What to do right now
- Don't press the start button or turn the key.
- Take a photo of the pump display: it shows the fuel type and the litres.
- Ring 01295 380724 and describe where the car is.
- Agree the price before booking — the call-out starts at £89.
- The drainer empties the tank and flushes the system where the car stands.
- They refuel, start the engine and check it before handing back the keys.

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 Curraheen 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
What does it cost in Curraheen Cork?
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 water in the petrol tank?
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.
Will you bring fuel?
Yes. The drainer adds enough of the correct fuel to start the engine and reach a filling station.
Do you cover all of Curraheen Cork?
Yes — forecourts, roadsides, homes and workplaces across Curraheen Cork and the surrounding area.
Can I pay by card?
Yes. Card payment is taken on site once the job is done.
