About kerosene collection in Largs
The kerosene in a domestic heating tank keeps reasonably well but not indefinitely. Water from condensation or a failed cap sinks below it and breeds a bacterial sludge; the fuel itself oxidises and can gel in deep cold. Any of that fouls the boiler.
Volume ranges from the dregs in a nearly empty tank to a recently filled 1,000-litre store. Either is collected; the quote follows the litres and the access.
What a collection involves is simple: attend, pump out the kerosene, inspect the empty vessel, and carry it away for you — all covered by the transfer note issued before the carrier leaves.
Booking a collection is the easy part. Tell us the fuel, the rough litres and where the tank, bowser or cans sit in Largs, and we set a window and a price before anyone travels. On the day the carrier pumps it out, checks the vessel and leaves you the transfer note.

Common questions
Do you collect kerosene in Largs?
Yes — across Largs and the rest of North Ayrshire. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the kerosene and issues a waste transfer note on site.
Is kerosene the same as heating oil?
Kerosene (28-second) is the common domestic heating oil for off-grid homes. Heating oil also covers gas oil (35-second) used by some older or agricultural boilers. We collect both.
Why does old kerosene stop the boiler working?
Water and sludge collecting under the fuel, plus bacterial growth, block the boiler's fine nozzle. Removing the old oil and cleaning the tank usually clears it.
Can I empty my own oil tank?
It is safer and cleaner to have it pumped out by a registered carrier, especially as the oil is hazardous waste that cannot be tipped away. You also get a transfer note.
Do you decommission the tank too?
We pump out and remove the kerosene and can advise on or arrange tank cleaning and decommissioning. Tell us what you need when you call.
