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 Crosshaven.

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 Crosshaven

Two clocks run on stored red diesel at once. Like any diesel it ages, waters and bugs; unlike white diesel, it also carries a rebate marker that HMRC takes seriously, so both the fuel and the paperwork have to be dealt with cleanly.

Disposal of red diesel is handled as hazardous waste like any diesel, but the documentation carries extra weight: the transfer note is evidence for HMRC as well as the environmental regulator that rebated stock was disposed of and not diverted.

Collecting the red diesel means bringing the equipment to you rather than moving the fuel yourself. The carrier draws it out of the tank or cans, checks for residue and takes it off site, documented on a transfer note.

The practical side of a collection is access and volume. Once we know both for the site in Crosshaven, the carrier attends on a booked slot, pumps the fuel out and documents it, often the same day for reachable tanks.

Common questions

Do you collect red diesel in Crosshaven?

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