Ireland — how this works

Fuel Fixer Scotland is a Scottish operator. We do not run our own vans in Wicklow, 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 Avoca.

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 disposal in Avoca

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.

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.

Once lifted, the diesel is disposed of through a licensed route — recovered where it can be, destroyed where it cannot — and every step is captured on the waste transfer note you keep.

For disposal, the licensed route and the documentation are the job. Fuel collected in Avoca is taken to a permitted facility, recovered or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note you keep as compliance evidence.

Common questions

Do you dispose of old diesel in Avoca?

We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Avoca and the rest of Wicklow. 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.
