Reviewed by [**Rambo S** ](/editorial/), Wrong fuel expert, Fuel Fixer · last checked 30 September 2026 ## About old petrol collection in Murthly Petrol does not keep. Left in a tank or a can for more than a few months it oxidises, the lighter fractions evaporate and it drops octane, so an engine that starts on it at all runs rough and pinks. The gums and varnish it leaves behind then clog carburettors, injectors and fuel lines. The fire-safety angle is the one that catches people out. Stale petrol still gives off flammable vapour — arguably more freely as it ages — so a garage full of old cans is a hazard long before it is a running problem. That is another reason to clear it properly. The lift is the easy part once it is booked — a registered carrier attends, empties the petrol, checks the vessel and takes it away, with the transfer note issued on site so the chain of custody is clear. Collections in Murthly 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 Murthly: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and removal | Council area | Perth and Kinross | 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 Murthly Across Murthly and its surroundings we collect old petrol from petrol left in a spare can, mixed fuel from a misfuel, and stale stock a business can no longer legally hold.

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.
