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.

Common questions
Do you dispose of old diesel in Glasnevin?
We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Glasnevin and the rest of Dublin. 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.
