Over months it oxidises, darkens and drops sediment, and where water has crept in it grows diesel bug — a microbial sludge at the fuel-water line that blocks filters and lines. Old diesel that looks fine can still wreck a modern common-rail system. Bulk and bowser volumes are routine. Whether it is a few hundred litres in a standby generator or a few thousand in a farm tank, the collection is booked against the volume and the access rather than turned away for size. A collection is a booked visit: the carrier turns up, pumps the diesel out of the store, bowser, drums or cans, checks the container and removes it, handing over the waste transfer note as your record. For a collection in Dunning 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. ## Local Scottish old diesel collector in Dunning: the facts Fuel | Old diesel | Service | Collection and removal | Council area | Perth and Kinross | Why it degrades | Oxidises, drops sediment and grows diesel bug where water is present | Typical sources | Farm tanks, generators, plant, HGVs, boats, bowsers, bulk stores | Classification | Hazardous waste — waste transfer note issued | Regulator | SEPA | Typical cost | Quoted per litre | Attendance | Booked collection, often same day | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where old diesel comes from around Dunning In Dunning the usual sources of old diesel we collect are haulage yards rationalising bulk tanks, and depots clearing slow-moving or off-spec stock.

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. ### One operator, four sites Fuel Fixer Scotland is the Scottish arm of Fuel Fixer Ltd.
