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 Ballyfermot.

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 red diesel collection in Ballyfermot

The problem people bring us with red diesel is usually legal as much as practical: stranded stock after the entitlement changes, a tank that needs to be dye-free before reuse, or fuel from a business that has closed.

The same ageing problems apply: water, sludge and bug can spoil red diesel in store just as they spoil white. Contaminated rebated stock is collected and disposed of rather than risked in a machine.

A collection is a booked visit: the carrier turns up, pumps the red diesel out of the store, bowser, drums or cans, checks the container and removes it, handing over the waste transfer note as your record.

A collection runs to a booked slot rather than a wait. We confirm the price and window against the litres and access in Ballyfermot, the carrier attends, draws the fuel off, and the transfer note is issued there and then as your record.

Common questions

Do you collect red diesel in Ballyfermot?

We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Ballyfermot and the rest of Dublin. They attend, lift the red diesel and dispose of it under the NIEA or EPA and the local authority, and issue the waste transfer note.

Why cannot I just use up my red diesel?

Since the 2022 reform most sectors outside agriculture lost the entitlement to use rebated red diesel. Using it outside the permitted cases is an offence, so surplus stock is best removed and disposed of properly.

Does the red dye matter for disposal?

The dye marks the fuel as rebated and lingers in a tank. For disposal it is handled as hazardous waste like any diesel, but the documentation matters for HMRC as well as the regulator.

Can you clear a tank so it is dye-free?

We remove the red diesel and can clean the tank so it is fit to hold road diesel again. Any residual dye is dealt with as part of the tank clean.

Will I get paperwork for HMRC?

You get a waste transfer note recording what was collected and where it went. That is your evidence of compliant disposal for both HMRC and the regulator.
