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 Cabra.

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 disposal in Cabra

Red diesel sits at the awkward junction of tax law and waste law. The marker dye tells HMRC the fuel was rebated; using it outside the permitted cases is an offence, and the dye lingers in a tank long after the fuel has gone.

Farms clearing surplus, sold or dispersed holdings, and contractors caught by the rule change are the typical jobs. Volume ranges from a part-full bowser to a full bulk tank, quoted per litre against the access.

Once lifted, the red diesel 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.

Disposal closes the duty-of-care loop for a site in Cabra: permitted facility, lawful handling, and a transfer note that answers the only question that matters if anyone asks — where did it go and can you show it.

Common questions

Do you dispose of red diesel in Cabra?

We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Cabra 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.

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.

Do you take contaminated red diesel?

Yes — rebated fuel spoiled by water, sludge or bug is collected and disposed of the same way as any contaminated diesel, with documentation.

How is the price worked out?

Per litre against the volume and access, quoted before travel. Give us the rough litres in the tank or bowser when you call.
