We do not run our own vans in Donegal, 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 Gweedore. 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. Part of Fuel Fixer Ltd. Reviewed by [**Rambo S** ](/editorial/), Wrong fuel expert, Fuel Fixer · last checked 28 September 2026 ## About old diesel disposal in Gweedore The issue with aged diesel is what grows in it and what settles out of it. Microbial contamination at the water line, oxidation products, and waxing in cold weather all leave a fuel that fouls the fine tolerances of a modern injection system. 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. Done properly, disposal gives you a defensible trail. The fuel from Gweedore is destroyed or recovered at a licensed facility, and the documentation issued is what protects you under the duty-of-care regime. ## Local Irish old diesel disposal in Gweedore: the facts Fuel | Old diesel | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | County | Donegal | 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 Gweedore | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where old diesel comes from around Gweedore Around Gweedore the old diesel we collect and dispose of comes from HGVs, buses, tractors and machinery laid up or awaiting repair, and bowsers left part-full over a season.

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.
