Call 01295 380724. Fuel Fixer Scotland is a Scottish operator and does not run collection vehicles in Dublin — we take the details and connect you with a licensed local carrier who handles old petrol disposal covering Irishtown. In Ireland this is regulated by the NIEA or EPA and the local authority, not SEPA. Give us the details and we connect you with a licensed local carrier covering your part of Ireland. [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 Dublin, 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 Irishtown. 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 Irishtown Stale petrol is a fire risk and a running risk in one. As it ages it throws off vapour more readily even as it loses the octane an engine needs, and the residue it leaves gums up everything it touches. It is also hazardous waste — you cannot tip it down a drain, onto the ground or into a bin. 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. Once lifted, the petrol is disposed of through a licensed route — recovered where it can be, destroyed where it cannot — and every step is captured on the waste transfer note you keep. The disposal end matters most for compliance. Once lifted in Irishtown, the fuel is routed to a licensed facility for recovery or destruction, and the paper trail is the point: your duty of care is discharged by evidence, not assurances. ## Local Irish old petrol disposal in Irishtown: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | County | Dublin | 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 Irishtown | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where old petrol comes from around Irishtown In Irishtown the usual sources of old petrol we collect and dispose of are boats and outboard tanks laid up out of season, and fuel drained for a repair that then sat for months. 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 Irishtown Because we do not run vehicles in Ireland, a call about old petrol in Irishtown is handled by referral: we take the fuel type, the rough volume and the access, and connect you with a licensed local carrier who lifts and disposes of 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 disposal in Irishtown We do not price old petrol jobs in Irishtown 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.
