Call 01295 380724. A registered waste carrier attends anywhere in Menteith — home tank, farm or croft store, depot, marina, plant yard or a few cans in a lock-up — pumps it out, checks the container for residue and issues a waste transfer note on site. Usually 30-60 minutes on site, quoted per litre, often same day. This is hazardous waste in law, which is why it is pumped out, carried under a registered carrier and disposed of properly rather than tipped or left.

Reviewed by [**Rambo S** ](/editorial/), Wrong fuel expert, Fuel Fixer · last checked 30 September 2026 ## About old petrol disposal in Menteith Stale petrol is a fire risk and a running risk in one. As it ages it throws off vapour more readily even as it loses the octane an engine needs, and the residue it leaves gums up everything it touches. It is also hazardous waste — you cannot tip it down a drain, onto the ground or into a bin. The fire-safety angle is the one that catches people out. Stale petrol still gives off flammable vapour — arguably more freely as it ages — so a garage full of old cans is a hazard long before it is a running problem. That is another reason to clear it properly. 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. Getting disposal right is about the destination and the record. The fuel from Menteith 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 Menteith: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | Council area | Stirling | 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 Menteith We collect and dispose of old petrol across Menteith from 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.
