Ireland — how this works

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

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 Kells

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.

Whether old diesel can be saved depends on how far gone it is. Lightly contaminated fuel can sometimes be polished — filtered and dewatered — but water-laden, bugged or long-standing diesel is normally removed and the tank cleaned.

Safe disposal routes the diesel to a licensed facility for recovery or destruction and documents it, so the duty of care sits with a paper trail rather than with you guessing.

Disposal is where duty of care bites. Under the rules the waste is yours until it reaches a permitted facility, so the transfer note issued in Kells — recording what left, when and where it went — is the document that keeps you covered if it is ever questioned.

Common questions

Do you dispose of old diesel in Kells?

We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Kells and the rest of Meath. 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.
