About old diesel disposal in Kelty
Water is the enemy of stored diesel. It sinks below the fuel, and at that boundary the bug takes hold, throwing dark strings and slime that choke filters within minutes of the pump drawing them up. Removing the fuel and cleaning the tank is the cure.
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.
Disposal closes the loop: the collected diesel reaches a permitted facility, is processed or destroyed lawfully, and the transfer note issued on site is your proof it was done right.
The disposal end matters most for compliance. Once lifted in Kelty, the fuel is routed to a licensed facility for recovery or destruction, and the paper trail is the point: your duty of care is discharged by evidence, not assurances.

Common questions
Do you dispose of old diesel in Kelty?
Yes — across Kelty and the rest of Fife. 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.
