Reviewed by [**Rambo S** ](/editorial/), Wrong fuel expert, Fuel Fixer · last checked 30 September 2026 ## About old petrol disposal in Colmonell 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. Volume is rarely an obstacle. A single jerry can, the tank of a barn-find, or a store of mixed old petrol from a workshop clear-out are all straightforward to lift once we know the rough litres and where it is. Disposal closes the loop: the collected petrol reaches a permitted facility, is processed or destroyed lawfully, and the transfer note issued on site is your proof it was done right. The compliance value of proper disposal is the record. The fuel leaves Colmonell for a permitted facility, and the transfer note captures the movement — the difference between disposed of and merely gone. ## Local Scottish old petrol disposal in Colmonell: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | Council area | South Ayrshire | Postcode districts | KA26 | 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 Colmonell Most of the old petrol we collect and dispose of near Colmonell originates in lawnmowers, strimmers, chainsaws, generators and other small two- and four-stroke kit put away with fuel still in it.

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.
