Petrol in a diesel car in Walkinstown Dublin — mobile drain
If you have petrol in a diesel car in Walkinstown Dublin, Dublin, Ireland, do not start the engine and call 01295 380724. We cover Ireland through local fuel drainers rather than our own vans, and we will connect you to one covering Walkinstown Dublin with the vehicle and fuel details already passed on. Petrol strips the lubrication diesel gives the pump and injectors, so it must come out before the engine runs. Price and arrival time are set and confirmed by the local operator before they travel.
Whether the engine was started is what decides the outcome, in Ireland exactly as in the UK.

More about Walkinstown Dublin
Fuel Fixer, the company behind Misfuel Doctor, 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 Walkinstown Dublin.
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 with petrol in a diesel car?
No. Starting or driving pumps it through the system and can turn a straightforward drain into an expensive repair. Leave the vehicle where it is and call 01295 380724.
How long does the drain take?
About 45 to 90 minutes on site once the technician arrives. Vehicles that were started or driven take longer, because the lines and filter need flushing as well as the tank.
How much does it cost in Walkinstown Dublin?
In Ireland the local drainer we connect you to sets the price and confirms it on the phone before travelling.
Will it have damaged the engine?
Only if it has been run through the system. Caught before starting, it sits in the tank and a drain removes it cleanly.
Does insurance cover it?
Often not. Most car insurance policies exclude misfuelling as standard, though some breakdown policies and optional add-ons include it. Check your own wording.
Do you cover Walkinstown Dublin?
Yes. Mobile technicians attend forecourts, roadsides, homes and workplaces across Walkinstown Dublin, 24 hours a day.
