We do not run our own vans in Westmeath, 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 Tyrrellspass. 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](https://www.epa.ie/) 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. **Scottish-owned** Scottish-owned and Scottish-run, working every council area from the Borders to Shetland.

It oxidises and gums, it waxes and gels in the cold, and any water it has picked up breeds the bug that furs up filters. It is also hazardous waste, so it cannot be tipped away. Diesel bug is the word most people land on, and it is real: a community of bacteria and fungi living off the fuel at the water interface. Left alone it corrodes tanks as well as blocking filters, which is why a heavily bugged tank is usually emptied and cleaned rather than dosed. The collection itself is quick and self-contained. A carrier arrives with the pumping kit, empties whatever the diesel is held in, checks what is left behind and removes it, leaving you a waste transfer note that records the lift. For a collection in Tyrrellspass the useful things to have ready are the volume in litres and how the tank or cans are reached — a tanker needs different access to a van. With that we quote and book, and the lift itself is quick once the carrier is on site. ## Local Irish old diesel collector in Tyrrellspass: the facts Fuel | Old diesel | Service | Collection and removal | County | Westmeath | Country | Ireland | Why it degrades | Oxidises, drops sediment and grows diesel bug where water is present | Typical sources | Farm tanks, generators, plant, HGVs, boats, bowsers, bulk stores | Classification | Hazardous waste — waste transfer note issued | Regulator | NIEA / EPA and local authority, not SEPA | Typical cost | Set by the attending carrier | Attendance | Referred to a licensed carrier covering Tyrrellspass | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where old diesel comes from around Tyrrellspass In Tyrrellspass the usual sources of old diesel we collect are farm and estate bulk tanks, standby generators and plant stood between jobs with fuel in the tank.

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. ### One operator, four sites Fuel Fixer Scotland is the Scottish arm of Fuel Fixer Ltd.
