Call 01295 380724. Fuel Fixer Scotland is a Scottish operator and does not run collection vehicles in Dublin — we take the details and connect you with a licensed local carrier who handles old diesel disposal covering Glasnevin.

[Call 01295 380724 — we will connect you locally](tel:+441295380724) ### 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 Glasnevin. 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.

Reviewed by [**Rambo S** ](/editorial/), Wrong fuel expert, Fuel Fixer · last checked 28 September 2026 ## About old diesel disposal in Glasnevin The classic fault with stored diesel is contamination rather than age alone. Condensation puts water in the tank, the water feeds the microbial bloom known as diesel bug, and the result is a dark, hazy fuel full of sludge that clogs filters and injectors. Bulk and bowser volumes are routine. Whether it is a few hundred litres in a standby generator or a few thousand in a farm tank, the collection is booked against the volume and the access rather than turned away for size. Disposal is what keeps you clean under duty-of-care rules: the diesel goes to a permitted facility rather than anywhere convenient, and the transfer note proves where it went and when. Getting disposal right is about the destination and the record. The fuel from Glasnevin goes to a permitted facility, is handled under environmental rules, and the transfer note is your audit trail showing it was dealt with lawfully. ## Local Irish old diesel disposal in Glasnevin: the facts Fuel | Old diesel | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | County | Dublin | 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 Glasnevin | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where old diesel comes from around Glasnevin The old diesel we collect and dispose of in and around Glasnevin tends to come from old bulk stores being decommissioned, businesses winding down, and tanks emptied before replacement.

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