Ireland — how this works

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

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 petrol disposal in Courtmacsherry

Old petrol behaves nothing like fresh. The octane falls, the fuel goes sour and darkens, and a skin of gum forms that fouls jets and injectors. On top of that it is classified as hazardous waste, so the drain, the shed and the wheelie bin are all off limits.

The commonest jobs are seasonal: mowers and machinery woken up in spring that will not run, or classics pulled out after winter with a tankful that has turned. In both, draining the old petrol and refilling fresh is the reliable fix.

Disposal is what keeps you clean under duty-of-care rules: the petrol goes to a permitted facility rather than anywhere convenient, and the transfer note proves where it went and when.

Disposal is not just removal — it is provable removal. The waste from Courtmacsherry reaches a licensed facility, and the transfer note documents the chain so that duty of care sits with paperwork rather than with your word.

Common questions

Do you dispose of old petrol in Courtmacsherry?

We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Courtmacsherry and the rest of Cork. 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.

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.

Is a small amount still worth collecting?

Yes. Even a can or two is safer removed than left in a garage, and it is lifted with a transfer note the same as a larger volume.

Will you take mixed or misfuelled petrol?

Yes — petrol mixed with diesel, oil or other fuel is collected and disposed of the same way. Just say what is in it when you call.
