About old diesel disposal in Methven
Diesel left standing in a tank, a bowser or a machine gradually degrades: darker colour, dropping sediment, and the real menace, diesel bug wherever water and fuel meet. That sludge blocks filters and starves engines.
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.
Disposal is what keeps you clean under duty-of-care rules: the diesel goes to a permitted facility rather than anywhere convenient, and the transfer note proves where it went and when.
The disposal end matters most for compliance. Once lifted in Methven, 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 Methven?
Yes — across Methven and the rest of Perth and Kinross. 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.
