About old diesel collection in Tarbert Kerry
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.
Cold weather adds a second failure mode. As diesel ages and the temperature drops, wax crystals form and gel, and old fuel gels sooner than fresh. A tank that ran last summer can refuse to flow the following winter.
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.
A collection is arranged around your site in Tarbert Kerry: we match the kit to the access, quote per litre on the volume, and book a window. The lift is a short visit — pump out, check the vessel, issue the note.

Common questions
Do you collect old diesel in Tarbert Kerry?
We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Tarbert Kerry 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.
