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. 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. 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. 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 Uyeasound — recording what left, when and where it went — is the document that keeps you covered if it is ever questioned. ## Local Scottish old diesel disposal in Uyeasound: the facts Fuel | Old diesel | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | Council area | Shetland Islands | 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 | Collected and disposed of under licence | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where old diesel comes from around Uyeasound In Uyeasound the usual sources of old diesel we collect and dispose of are farm and estate bulk tanks, standby generators and plant stood between jobs with fuel in the tank.

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