Reviewed by [**Rambo S** ](/editorial/), Wrong fuel expert, Fuel Fixer · last checked 28 September 2026 ## About kerosene collection in Stronsay A layer of water at the bottom of a kerosene tank is almost inevitable over the years, and it is where the trouble starts — bacterial growth, sludge and tank corrosion all begin there. Emptying and checking the tank deals with it. Tank decommissioning often comes with the fuel removal — draining the oil first so the tank can be cleaned, cut down or taken away safely. Say if that is what you need when you call. The lift is the easy part once it is booked — a registered carrier attends, empties the kerosene, checks the vessel and takes it away, with the transfer note issued on site so the chain of custody is clear. Booking a collection is the easy part. Tell us the fuel, the rough litres and where the tank, bowser or cans sit in Stronsay, 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. ## Local Scottish kerosene collector in Stronsay: the facts Fuel | Kerosene | Service | Collection and removal | Council area | Orkney Islands | Why it degrades | Grows water sludge and bacteria over time; fouls the boiler nozzle | Typical sources | Home heating tanks, decommissioning, boiler upgrades, house sales, estates | Classification | Hazardous waste — waste transfer note issued | Regulator | SEPA | Typical cost | Quoted per litre | Attendance | Booked collection, often same day | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where kerosene comes from around Stronsay The kerosene we collect in and around Stronsay tends to come from leaking or corroded tanks emptied before repair, replacement or removal.

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.
