Call 01295 380724. Fuel Fixer Scotland is a Scottish operator and does not run collection vehicles in Antrim — we take the details and connect you with a licensed local carrier who handles old petrol disposal covering Greenisland.

[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 Antrim, 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 Greenisland. 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 petrol disposal in Greenisland The trouble with a tank of forgotten petrol is that it quietly turns from fuel into a liability. It loses combustibility, gains acidity, absorbs water where there is ethanol, and coats the fuel system in varnish. Because it is flammable hazardous waste, the safe answer is to have it removed. Volume is rarely an obstacle. A single jerry can, the tank of a barn-find, or a store of mixed old petrol from a workshop clear-out are all straightforward to lift once we know the rough litres and where it is. 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. For disposal, the licensed route and the documentation are the job. Fuel collected in Greenisland is taken to a permitted facility, recovered or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note you keep as compliance evidence. ## Local Irish old petrol disposal in Greenisland: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | County | Antrim | 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 Greenisland | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where old petrol comes from around Greenisland Most of the old petrol we collect and dispose of near Greenisland originates in house and garage clearances, deceased estates, and workshops closing down that need old petrol stock cleared safely. Classic and project cars stood over winter, motorbikes taken off the road, and the forgotten half-tank in a barn find. ## How it works in Greenisland For old petrol in Greenisland the process is a referral, not a callout: we gather the fuel type, the litres and the access, and hand you to a licensed carrier local to you. They quote, attend and issue the transfer note; the NIEA or EPA and the local authority regulates it. ## Cost of old petrol disposal in Greenisland We do not price old petrol jobs in Greenisland because we do not run them — the licensed local carrier does.

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. ### One operator, four sites Fuel Fixer Scotland is the Scottish arm of Fuel Fixer Ltd.
