Reviewed by [**Rambo S** ](/editorial/), Wrong fuel expert, Fuel Fixer · last checked 2 October 2026 ## About old petrol disposal in Banchory Old petrol behaves nothing like fresh. The octane falls, the fuel goes sour and darkens, and a skin of gum forms that fouls jets and injectors. On top of that it is classified as hazardous waste, so the drain, the shed and the wheelie bin are all off limits. 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. Proper disposal means a permitted end point and a documented trail. The petrol is taken to a licensed facility for recovery or safe destruction, and the transfer note is your record of compliant disposal. For disposal, the licensed route and the documentation are the job. Fuel collected in Banchory is taken to a permitted facility, recovered or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note you keep as compliance evidence. ## Local Scottish old petrol disposal in Banchory: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | Council area | Aberdeenshire | Postcode districts | AB31 | 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 | Collected and disposed of under licence | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where old petrol comes from around Banchory In Banchory the usual sources of old petrol we collect and dispose of are end-of-season karting, motocross and pit fuel, and small dealer or garage stock that has turned.

A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the old petrol and issues a waste transfer note on site. **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. **Is a small amount still worth collecting?** Yes. Even a can or two is safer removed than left in a garage, and it is lifted with a transfer note the same as a larger volume. **Will you take mixed or misfuelled petrol?** Yes — petrol mixed with diesel, oil or other fuel is collected and disposed of the same way. Just say what is in it when you call. ### One operator, four sites Fuel Fixer Scotland is the Scottish arm of Fuel Fixer Ltd.
