About old diesel collection in Corrie
Old diesel turns from asset to problem quietly. It oxidises and gums, it waxes and gels in the cold, and any water it has picked up breeds the bug that furs up filters. It is also hazardous waste, so it cannot be tipped away.
The trigger is often a tank being decommissioned or a machine sold, where the buyer wants it dry and the seller wants the old fuel gone with documentation. Both are handled in one visit.
What a collection involves is simple: attend, pump out the diesel, inspect the empty vessel, and carry it away for you — all covered by the transfer note issued before the carrier leaves.
For a collection in Corrie the useful things to have ready are the volume in litres and how the tank or cans are reached — a tanker needs different access to a van. With that we quote and book, and the lift itself is quick once the carrier is on site.

Common questions
Do you collect old diesel in Corrie?
Yes — across Corrie and the rest of North Ayrshire. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the old diesel and issues a waste transfer note on site.
What is diesel bug?
A microbial growth that lives at the boundary of water and diesel in a standing tank. It forms a dark sludge that blocks filters and lines and is a common reason stored diesel has to be removed.
Is old diesel hazardous waste?
Yes. Like petrol it cannot be tipped away or binned. A registered carrier pumps it out and it is disposed of through a permitted facility, with a transfer note issued on site.
Can contaminated diesel be cleaned instead of removed?
Polishing can recover lightly contaminated diesel, but heavily bugged or watered fuel is usually removed and the tank cleaned. We can advise once we know the state of it.
Will you empty a farm or bulk tank?
Yes — domestic, farm, estate and commercial bulk tanks, bowsers and drums. Give us the volume in litres and the access and you get a price and a slot before we travel.
