Ireland — how this works

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

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 disposal in Foynes

A layer of water at the bottom of a kerosene tank is almost inevitable over the years, and it is where the trouble starts — bacterial growth, sludge and tank corrosion all begin there. Emptying and checking the tank deals with it.

Contaminated kerosene that keeps tripping the burner is the other frequent job. Rather than fight it filter by filter, the old oil is removed, the tank checked, and fresh fuel put in clean.

Disposal is what keeps you clean under duty-of-care rules: the kerosene goes to a permitted facility rather than anywhere convenient, and the transfer note proves where it went and when.

The disposal end matters most for compliance. Once lifted in Foynes, the fuel is routed to a licensed facility for recovery or destruction, and the paper trail is the point: your duty of care is discharged by evidence, not assurances.

Common questions

Do you dispose of kerosene in Foynes?

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

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.

How much notice do you need?

Often a collection can be booked quickly; the window is confirmed with the quote before anyone travels. Access and volume set the timing.

Will you take contaminated kerosene?

Yes — water-logged, sludged or bacterially spoiled kerosene is collected and disposed of the same way, with documentation.
