Ireland — how this works

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

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 kerosene collection in Rathmore

The usual trouble with kerosene is not the fuel but the water and sludge that collect beneath it over the years, which foul the boiler and can corrode the tank. When the tank has to be emptied, the old oil is hazardous waste.

Tank decommissioning often comes with the fuel removal — draining the oil first so the tank can be cleaned, cut down or taken away safely. Say if that is what you need when you call.

What a collection involves is simple: attend, pump out the kerosene, inspect the empty vessel, and carry it away for you — all covered by the transfer note issued before the carrier leaves.

A collection runs to a booked slot rather than a wait. We confirm the price and window against the litres and access in Rathmore, the carrier attends, draws the fuel off, and the transfer note is issued there and then as your record.

Common questions

Do you collect kerosene in Rathmore?

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

Is kerosene the same as heating oil?

Kerosene (28-second) is the common domestic heating oil for off-grid homes. Heating oil also covers gas oil (35-second) used by some older or agricultural boilers. We collect both.

Why does old kerosene stop the boiler working?

Water and sludge collecting under the fuel, plus bacterial growth, block the boiler's fine nozzle. Removing the old oil and cleaning the tank usually clears it.

Can I empty my own oil tank?

It is safer and cleaner to have it pumped out by a registered carrier, especially as the oil is hazardous waste that cannot be tipped away. You also get a transfer note.

Do you decommission the tank too?

We pump out and remove the kerosene and can advise on or arrange tank cleaning and decommissioning. Tell us what you need when you call.
