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 Firhouse.

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 Firhouse

Because red diesel is rebated fuel, what you may do with it is tightly controlled, and the 2022 reform cut the list of permitted users to mainly agriculture and a few others. That has left plenty of firms with red diesel they can no longer use lawfully.

The 2022 change is the reason for a lot of these calls. Sectors that lost the entitlement — construction, plant hire, many commercial users — were left with red diesel they could no longer put in a machine, and the compliant answer is removal and documented disposal.

Proper disposal means a permitted end point and a documented trail. The red diesel is taken to a licensed facility for recovery or safe destruction, and the transfer note is your record of compliant disposal.

Getting disposal right is about the destination and the record. The fuel from Firhouse goes to a permitted facility, is handled under environmental rules, and the transfer note is your audit trail showing it was dealt with lawfully.

Common questions

Do you dispose of red diesel in Firhouse?

We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Firhouse 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.
