[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 Wicklow, 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 Tinahely. 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 Tinahely 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. Diesel bug is the word most people land on, and it is real: a community of bacteria and fungi living off the fuel at the water interface. Left alone it corrodes tanks as well as blocking filters, which is why a heavily bugged tank is usually emptied and cleaned rather than dosed. 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 not just removal — it is provable removal. The waste from Tinahely reaches a licensed facility, and the transfer note documents the chain so that duty of care sits with paperwork rather than with your word. ## Local Irish old diesel disposal in Tinahely: the facts Fuel | Old diesel | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | County | Wicklow | 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 Tinahely | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where old diesel comes from around Tinahely Across Tinahely and its surroundings we collect and dispose of old diesel from diesel spoiled by water ingress or diesel bug that a filter change alone will not fix, and mixed batches.

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.
