Ireland — how this works

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

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 old diesel collection in Ballina Tipperary

A diesel bulk tank that has stood between jobs often looks fine on top and is anything but at the bottom. Sediment, water and microbial sludge collect below the draw-off, waiting to block the first filter downstream once the tank is used again.

Whether old diesel can be saved depends on how far gone it is. Lightly contaminated fuel can sometimes be polished — filtered and dewatered — but water-laden, bugged or long-standing diesel is normally removed and the tank cleaned.

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

For collection in Ballina Tipperary the carrier comes to the fuel rather than the other way round. With the litres and access confirmed, the visit is quick, the vessel is left checked, and the transfer note is your proof it was lifted properly.

Common questions

Do you collect old diesel in Ballina Tipperary?

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

What is diesel bug?

A microbial growth that lives at the boundary of water and diesel in a standing tank. It forms a dark sludge that blocks filters and lines and is a common reason stored diesel has to be removed.

Is old diesel hazardous waste?

Yes. Like petrol it cannot be tipped away or binned. A registered carrier pumps it out and it is disposed of through a permitted facility, with a transfer note issued on site.

Can contaminated diesel be cleaned instead of removed?

Polishing can recover lightly contaminated diesel, but heavily bugged or watered fuel is usually removed and the tank cleaned. We can advise once we know the state of it.

Will you empty a farm or bulk tank?

Yes — domestic, farm, estate and commercial bulk tanks, bowsers and drums. Give us the volume in litres and the access and you get a price and a slot before we travel.
