Reviewed by [**Rambo S** ](/editorial/), Wrong fuel expert, Fuel Fixer · last checked 29 September 2026 ## About old petrol collection in Reawick Petrol that has sat through a season is rarely worth saving. Oxidation, evaporation of the volatile fractions and, in E10, water absorbed through the ethanol all leave a fuel that is weak, acidic and full of gums. Draining it costs far less than the injector clean an attempt to burn it usually leads to. Once petrol has been collected it is routed to a licensed facility, where it is processed for recovery or safe disposal. That routing, and the paperwork that goes with it, are handled for you — you are not left working out what to do with a drum of dead fuel. A collection is a booked visit: the carrier turns up, pumps the petrol out of the store, bowser, drums or cans, checks the container and removes it, handing over the waste transfer note as your record. What makes a collection in Reawick smooth is knowing the access: whether a tanker can get to the tank, or the drums have to be carried out. Give us that and the volume on the call and the quote and window are fixed before travel. ## Local Scottish old petrol collector in Reawick: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and removal | Council area | Shetland Islands | 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 Reawick We collect old petrol across Reawick 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.
