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 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. Proper disposal means a permitted end point and a documented trail. The petrol is taken to a licensed facility for recovery or safe destruction, and the transfer note is your record of compliant disposal. The disposal end matters most for compliance. Once lifted in Montrose, 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 Montrose: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | Council area | Angus | Postcode districts | DD10 | 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 Montrose The old petrol we collect and dispose of in and around Montrose 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.
