Ireland — how this works

Fuel Fixer Scotland is a Scottish operator. We do not run our own vans in Galway, 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 Leenane.

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 Leenane

Red diesel is ordinary diesel dyed to mark it as rebated fuel, taxed lower for permitted off-road uses. Since the 2022 reform stripped many sectors of the entitlement, a lot of businesses have been left holding stock they can no longer legally burn — and the dye stains any tank it sits in.

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.

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.

Disposal is where duty of care bites. Under the rules the waste is yours until it reaches a permitted facility, so the transfer note issued in Leenane — recording what left, when and where it went — is the document that keeps you covered if it is ever questioned.

Common questions

Do you dispose of red diesel in Leenane?

We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Leenane and the rest of Galway. 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.
