About old diesel disposal in Gravir
A diesel bulk tank that has stood between jobs often looks fine on top and is anything but at the bottom. Sediment, water and microbial sludge collect below the draw-off, waiting to block the first filter downstream once the tank is used again.
Once lifted, old diesel goes to a permitted facility for recovery or safe disposal, documented on a transfer note. For farms and businesses that paperwork is the duty-of-care evidence that the fuel was dealt with lawfully.
Safe disposal routes the diesel to a licensed facility for recovery or destruction and documents it, so the duty of care sits with a paper trail rather than with you guessing.
Disposal is where duty of care bites. Under the rules the waste is yours until it reaches a permitted facility, so the transfer note issued in Gravir — recording what left, when and where it went — is the document that keeps you covered if it is ever questioned.

Common questions
Do you dispose of old diesel in Gravir?
Yes — across Gravir and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the old diesel and issues a waste transfer note 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.
Do you clean the tank as well?
We remove the fuel and can arrange a tank clean where the bug or sludge means the vessel needs it before reuse. Tell us the condition when you call.
How quickly can old diesel be collected?
Often the same day for accessible sites, otherwise a booked slot. The quote and window are confirmed before anyone travels.
