Call 01295 380724. Fuel Fixer Scotland is a Scottish operator and does not run collection vehicles in Wexford — we take the details and connect you with a licensed local carrier who handles old petrol collection covering Duncannon. In Ireland this is regulated by the NIEA or EPA and the local authority, not SEPA. Say what the fuel is and roughly how much, and we connect you with a licensed carrier local to you. [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 Wexford, 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 Duncannon. 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.

Within three to six months it begins to oxidise and separate, and modern E10 makes it worse: the ethanol pulls in water and the mix goes cloudy and acidic. Pour that through an engine and you are cleaning carburettors and injectors afterwards. Once petrol has been collected it is routed to a licensed facility, where it is processed for recovery or safe disposal. That routing, and the paperwork that goes with it, are handled for you — you are not left working out what to do with a drum of dead fuel. A collection is a booked visit: the carrier turns up, pumps the petrol out of the store, bowser, drums or cans, checks the container and removes it, handing over the waste transfer note as your record. Booking a collection is the easy part. Tell us the fuel, the rough litres and where the tank, bowser or cans sit in Duncannon, and we set a window and a price before anyone travels. On the day the carrier pumps it out, checks the vessel and leaves you the transfer note. ## Local Irish old petrol collector in Duncannon: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and removal | County | Wexford | Country | Ireland | Why it degrades | Oxidises and loses octane in 3-6 months; E10 also absorbs water | Typical sources | Classic cars, motorbikes, mowers, generators, boats, jerry cans, clearances | 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 Duncannon | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where old petrol comes from around Duncannon The old petrol we collect in and around Duncannon tends to come from lawnmowers, strimmers, chainsaws, generators and other small two- and four-stroke kit put away with fuel still in it.

They price it and issue the transfer note; the NIEA or EPA and the local authority is the regulator, not SEPA. ## Cost of old petrol collection in Duncannon The licensed carrier who attends in Duncannon sets the price — get it confirmed before they travel.

They attend, lift the old petrol and dispose of it under the NIEA or EPA and the local authority, and issue the waste transfer note. **How do you know petrol has gone off?** It darkens, smells sour or like varnish rather than sharp, and may look cloudy where ethanol has drawn in water. If in doubt, do not try to burn it. **Can I just pour old petrol away?** No. Petrol is flammable hazardous waste. Putting it down a drain, onto the ground or in a bin is an offence and a fire risk. A registered carrier removes it under a transfer note. **Can old petrol be recycled?** Once collected it goes to a licensed facility where it is processed for recovery or safe disposal. That routing is handled for you and documented on the transfer note. **How much old petrol will you take?** Anything from a single can to a full vehicle tank or a bulk store. Tell us the rough volume in litres and you get a price before anyone travels. ### One operator, four sites Fuel Fixer Scotland is the Scottish arm of Fuel Fixer Ltd.
