Introducing AA Fuel Assist
We have just launched our brand new Fuel Assist service in the Dublin area, which means that should the worst happen and you put the wrong fuel in your car, help is just a phone call away, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
What to do if you misfuel
If you put the wrong fuel in your tank, do not turn on the ignition or start the engine as this will circulate the contaminated fuel and increase the risk of damage.
Instead, just call us on 1890 456 226 at anytime, day or night
Our specialist service will:
- drain, flush and replenish your vehicle's fuel system
- ensure the contaminated fuel is recycled through a waste management company - it can then be used to power kilns and furnaces
We aim to attend any vehicle, providing the Fuel Assist van has enough capacity in its tank.
Prices start at:
- €234 (inc. VAT) for AA Members
- €260 (inc. VAT) for Non-Members
Effects of misfuelling
Damage to the engine can be very expensive for some vehicle owners: manufacturers often:
- recommend change of parts (as high as €2,000* or more) and
- garages often charge €440* or more for a fuel drain
- With AA Fuel Assist it will only cost from €234
How Fuel Assist works
- Cars, vans, lorries, motorcycles, etc are covered
- Fresh fuel to refill the tank is charged at pump price
- An appointment system is in place
