One call to 01295 380724 sorts it. Someone comes to wherever the fuel is across Dalmally, empties the tank, bowser, drums or cans, checks for residue and hands you the waste transfer note before leaving.

Within three to six months it begins to oxidise and separate, and modern E10 makes it worse: the ethanol pulls in water and the mix goes cloudy and acidic. Pour that through an engine and you are cleaning carburettors and injectors afterwards. People often ask whether a splash of fresh fuel or an additive will revive it. Lightly stale petrol can sometimes be diluted and used in a mower or similar, but anything cloudy, separated or months old is best removed rather than nursed into an engine you care about. Disposal is what keeps you clean under duty-of-care rules: the petrol goes to a permitted facility rather than anywhere convenient, and the transfer note proves where it went and when. The disposal end matters most for compliance. Once lifted in Dalmally, the fuel is routed to a licensed facility for recovery or destruction, and the paper trail is the point: your duty of care is discharged by evidence, not assurances. ## Local Scottish old petrol disposal in Dalmally: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | Council area | Argyll and Bute | Postcode districts | PA33 | 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 Dalmally The old petrol we collect and dispose of in and around Dalmally tends to come 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. 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.
