About old diesel disposal in Annascaul
Water is the enemy of stored diesel. It sinks below the fuel, and at that boundary the bug takes hold, throwing dark strings and slime that choke filters within minutes of the pump drawing them up. Removing the fuel and cleaning the tank is the cure.
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.
Disposal closes the loop: the collected diesel reaches a permitted facility, is processed or destroyed lawfully, and the transfer note issued on site is your proof it was done right.
The compliance value of proper disposal is the record. The fuel leaves Annascaul for a permitted facility, and the transfer note captures the movement — the difference between disposed of and merely gone.

Common questions
Do you dispose of old diesel in Annascaul?
We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Annascaul 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.
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.
Do you clean the tank as well?
We remove the fuel and can arrange a tank clean where the bug or sludge means the vessel needs it before reuse. Tell us the condition when you call.
How quickly can old diesel be collected?
Often the same day for accessible sites, otherwise a booked slot. The quote and window are confirmed before anyone travels.
