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 Skerries.

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 Skerries

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.

The most common call is a boiler upgrade or a switch to a heat pump, leaving a tank of kerosene with nowhere to go. Pumping it out and removing it is a short job once the tank is accessible.

Disposal is about where the kerosene ends up and being able to prove it. Once collected it goes to a permitted facility for recovery or destruction, and you get a waste transfer note recording what left, when and where it went — your duty-of-care evidence if anyone ever asks.

Disposal is not just removal — it is provable removal. The waste from Skerries reaches a licensed facility, and the transfer note documents the chain so that duty of care sits with paperwork rather than with your word.

Common questions

Do you dispose of kerosene in Skerries?

We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Skerries and the rest of Dublin. 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.
