Do not start the engine, and call 01295 380724. Fuel Fixer Scotland is a Scottish operator and does not run vans in Galway — what we do is take the details and connect you with a wrong-fuel drainer covering Mountbellew. Whatever went into whichever tank, it comes out before the engine runs. Fuel, AdBlue, screen wash, coolant or water. The first instruction is the same wherever you are: leave the engine off. Everything after that is arranging the right person to attend. [Call 01295 380724 — 24/7, we will connect you locally](tel:+441295380724) ### Ireland — how this works Fuel Fixer Scotland is a Scottish operator. We do not run our own vans in Galway, so we do not pretend to: what we do is take the call, work out exactly what has gone into which tank, and put you straight through to a wrong-fuel drainer covering Mountbellew. The advice on this page is the same either side of the Irish Sea, because the mechanics are: do not start the engine, do not move the vehicle, and get the wrong fluid out before anything is run through the system. That part does not change with the jurisdiction. What does change is the waste regulator — in Ireland that is the [EPA](https://www.epa.ie/) and the local authority, not SEPA — and the drainer who attends will issue their own paperwork. Call 01295 380724 and say where you are. If we cannot get someone to you, we will tell you that on the phone rather than take a booking we cannot keep. **Scottish-owned** Scottish-owned and Scottish-run, working every council area from the Borders to Shetland.

For Mountbellew in Galway we connect you with a local wrong-fuel drainer rather than sending a van across the Irish Sea. Call 01295 380724 and we will make that connection. **What should I do right now in Mountbellew?** Exactly what you would do anywhere: do not start the engine, do not move the vehicle, and call for a drain. Starting it is what turns a straightforward drain into a fuel-system repair, and that is true in every country. **What will it cost in Ireland?** The local drainer sets their own price, so we will not quote you a figure we do not control. As a guide, the equivalent Scottish job runs from £150 for a straightforward drain. Ask the attending drainer to confirm before they travel. **Who regulates waste fuel in Ireland?** The Environmental Protection Agency and the relevant local authority, not SEPA, which covers Scotland only. The drainer who attends is responsible for their own waste documentation. **Is the wrong fluid in the tank any different in Ireland?** Mechanically, no. The same fluid in the same tank does the same thing to the same components. Only the response arrangement and the waste paperwork differ. **Why does a Scottish company have a page for Mountbellew?** Because people in Mountbellew search for this and end up on Scottish and UK sites anyway. We would rather tell you plainly what we can and cannot do than take the call and disappoint you. ### One operator, four sites Fuel Fixer Scotland is the Scottish arm of Fuel Fixer Ltd. The same technicians, the same equipment and the same helpline sit behind all four sites — they differ only in where and how people search. - [**Fuel Fixer** The operating company.
