In a tank it slowly degrades, and where rain or condensation has got in it grows sludge and bacteria that block the boiler's fine nozzle. 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. Proper disposal means a permitted end point and a documented trail. The kerosene is taken to a licensed facility for recovery or safe destruction, and the transfer note is your record of compliant disposal. Disposal closes the duty-of-care loop for a site in Tranent: 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. ## Local Scottish kerosene disposal in Tranent: the facts Fuel | Kerosene | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | Council area | East Lothian | Postcode districts | EH33 | 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 | Collected and disposed of under licence | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where kerosene comes from around Tranent We collect and dispose of kerosene across Tranent from holiday lets and second homes taken off oil heating, and tanks left by previous owners.

A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the kerosene and issues a waste transfer note on site. **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. **How much notice do you need?** Often a collection can be booked quickly; the window is confirmed with the quote before anyone travels. Access and volume set the timing. **Will you take contaminated kerosene?** Yes — water-logged, sludged or bacterially spoiled kerosene is collected and disposed of the same way, with documentation. ### One operator, four sites Fuel Fixer Scotland is the Scottish arm of Fuel Fixer Ltd.
