Reviewed by [**Rambo S** ](/editorial/), Wrong fuel expert, Fuel Fixer · last checked 30 September 2026 ## About old petrol disposal in Brae 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 commonest jobs are seasonal: mowers and machinery woken up in spring that will not run, or classics pulled out after winter with a tankful that has turned. In both, draining the old petrol and refilling fresh is the reliable fix. Safe disposal routes the petrol to a licensed facility for recovery or destruction and documents it, so the duty of care sits with a paper trail rather than with you guessing. Getting disposal right is about the destination and the record. The fuel from Brae goes to a permitted facility, is handled under environmental rules, and the transfer note is your audit trail showing it was dealt with lawfully. ## Local Scottish old petrol disposal in Brae: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | 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 | Collected and disposed of under licence | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where old petrol comes from around Brae Across Brae and its surroundings we collect and dispose of old petrol from house and garage clearances, deceased estates, and workshops closing down that need old petrol stock cleared safely.

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.
