Ireland — how this works

Fuel Fixer Scotland is a Scottish operator. We do not run our own vans in Dublin, 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 Portmarnock.

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 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.

About heating oil collection in Portmarnock

Heating oil covers both the 28-second kerosene most homes burn and the heavier 35-second gas oil some older and agricultural boilers use. Both degrade in a standing tank, both collect water and sludge at the bottom, and both foul a burner once contamination takes hold.

Domestic and commercial jobs alike are handled — a single house tank, a bunded commercial store, or a farm tank — quoted per litre against volume and access.

A collection is a booked visit: the carrier turns up, pumps the heating oil out of the store, bowser, drums or cans, checks the container and removes it, handing over the waste transfer note as your record.

Booking a collection is the easy part. Tell us the fuel, the rough litres and where the tank, bowser or cans sit in Portmarnock, and we set a window and a price before anyone travels. On the day the carrier pumps it out, checks the vessel and leaves you the transfer note.

Common questions

Do you collect heating oil in Portmarnock?

We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Portmarnock and the rest of Dublin. They attend, lift the heating oil and dispose of it under the NIEA or EPA and the local authority, and issue the waste transfer note.

What counts as heating oil?

Both 28-second kerosene (the common domestic oil) and 35-second gas oil used by some older and agricultural boilers. We collect and dispose of both, plus tank sludge.

Do you remove the sludge as well as the oil?

Yes. The sludge and water at the bottom of a tank are part of the job and are collected with the oil, which is why proper clearance is more than pumping off clean fuel.

Is heating oil hazardous waste?

Yes. It cannot be tipped away, drained or left in a redundant tank. A registered carrier removes it and disposes of it through a permitted facility with a transfer note.

Can you help with a leaking or rusted tank?

We pump out the oil and sludge so a failing tank can be dealt with safely, and can advise on cleaning and decommissioning. Describe the tank when you call.
