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 Ringsend.

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 Ringsend

Stored diesel that has gone off is a filter-blocking, injector-fouling liability. Oxidation darkens it, water invites the microbial bug that sludges the tank, and the cold turns it waxy. Since it is hazardous waste, it has to be removed by someone licensed.

Once lifted, old diesel goes to a permitted facility for recovery or safe disposal, documented on a transfer note. For farms and businesses that paperwork is the duty-of-care evidence that the fuel was dealt with lawfully.

At collection a carrier comes to the diesel wherever it sits, draws it out, checks for residue in the tank or cans, and carries it away — the transfer note recording exactly what was lifted.

Collections in Ringsend are booked, priced and windowed up front. The carrier brings the pump, empties the tank, bowser or cans, checks for residue, and hands over the transfer note — you keep it, and that is the job done.

Common questions

Do you collect old diesel in Ringsend?

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