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

[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 Cavan, 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 Shercock. 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 Shercock Given enough time petrol separates and stratifies, the ethanol-water layer sinking while the top goes stale and resinous. That layering alone will stop an engine, and the acids that form attack rubber and alloy in the fuel system. Removal beats risking the damage. A useful tell is the smell: fresh petrol is sharp and volatile, stale petrol turns sour, flat or faintly like varnish. A darkened colour or a cloudy layer at the bottom of a can is the other giveaway that it has gone. Disposal closes the loop: the collected petrol reaches a permitted facility, is processed or destroyed lawfully, and the transfer note issued on site is your proof it was done right. The compliance value of proper disposal is the record. The fuel leaves Shercock for a permitted facility, and the transfer note captures the movement — the difference between disposed of and merely gone. ## Local Irish old petrol disposal in Shercock: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | County | Cavan | 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 Shercock | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where old petrol comes from around Shercock Across Shercock and its surroundings we collect and dispose of old petrol from lawnmowers, strimmers, chainsaws, generators and other small two- and four-stroke kit put away with fuel still in it.

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.
