It loses combustibility, gains acidity, absorbs water where there is ethanol, and coats the fuel system in varnish. Because it is flammable hazardous waste, the safe answer is to have it removed. A useful tell is the smell: fresh petrol is sharp and volatile, stale petrol turns sour, flat or faintly like varnish. A darkened colour or a cloudy layer at the bottom of a can is the other giveaway that it has gone. What a collection involves is simple: attend, pump out the petrol, inspect the empty vessel, and carry it away for you — all covered by the transfer note issued before the carrier leaves. Collections in Dundonald are booked, priced and windowed up front. The carrier brings the pump, empties the tank, bowser or cans, checks for residue, and hands over the transfer note — you keep it, and that is the job done. ## Local Scottish old petrol collector in Dundonald: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and removal | Council area | North Ayrshire | Postcode districts | KA2 | Why it degrades | Oxidises and loses octane in 3-6 months; E10 also absorbs water | Typical sources | Classic cars, motorbikes, mowers, generators, boats, jerry cans, clearances | 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 petrol comes from around Dundonald Most of the old petrol we collect near Dundonald originates in classic and project cars stood over winter, motorbikes taken off the road, and the forgotten half-tank in a barn find.

A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the old petrol and issues a waste transfer note on site. **How do you know petrol has gone off?** It darkens, smells sour or like varnish rather than sharp, and may look cloudy where ethanol has drawn in water. If in doubt, do not try to burn it. **Can I just pour old petrol away?** No. Petrol is flammable hazardous waste. Putting it down a drain, onto the ground or in a bin is an offence and a fire risk. A registered carrier removes it under a transfer note. **Can old petrol be recycled?** Once collected it goes to a licensed facility where it is processed for recovery or safe disposal. That routing is handled for you and documented on the transfer note. **How much old petrol will you take?** Anything from a single can to a full vehicle tank or a bulk store. Tell us the rough volume in litres and you get a price before anyone travels. ### One operator, four sites Fuel Fixer Scotland is the Scottish arm of Fuel Fixer Ltd.
