About old petrol disposal in Doune
Given enough time petrol separates and stratifies, the ethanol-water layer sinking while the top goes stale and resinous. That layering alone will stop an engine, and the acids that form attack rubber and alloy in the fuel system. Removal beats risking the damage.
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.
The disposal side is the paperwork and the destination. The petrol is routed to a licensed facility, processed or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note so you can show it was dealt with lawfully.
Disposal is where duty of care bites. Under the rules the waste is yours until it reaches a permitted facility, so the transfer note issued in Doune — recording what left, when and where it went — is the document that keeps you covered if it is ever questioned.

Common questions
Do you dispose of old petrol in Doune?
Yes — across Doune and the rest of Stirling. 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.
