Ireland — how this works

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

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 Piltown

Diesel left standing in a tank, a bowser or a machine gradually degrades: darker colour, dropping sediment, and the real menace, diesel bug wherever water and fuel meet. That sludge blocks filters and starves engines.

Cold weather adds a second failure mode. As diesel ages and the temperature drops, wax crystals form and gel, and old fuel gels sooner than fresh. A tank that ran last summer can refuse to flow the following winter.

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 Piltown is destroyed or recovered at a licensed facility, and the documentation issued is what protects you under the duty-of-care regime.

Common questions

Do you dispose of old diesel in Piltown?

We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Piltown and the rest of Kilkenny. 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.
