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 Cahersiveen.

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 Cahersiveen

The classic fault with stored diesel is contamination rather than age alone. Condensation puts water in the tank, the water feeds the microbial bloom known as diesel bug, and the result is a dark, hazy fuel full of sludge that clogs filters and injectors.

The trigger is often a tank being decommissioned or a machine sold, where the buyer wants it dry and the seller wants the old fuel gone with documentation. Both are handled in one visit.

What a collection involves is simple: attend, pump out the diesel, 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 Cahersiveen, the carrier attends, draws the fuel off, and the transfer note is issued there and then as your record.

Common questions

Do you collect old diesel in Cahersiveen?

We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Cahersiveen and the rest of Kerry. 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.
