Reviewed by [**Rambo S** ](/editorial/), Wrong fuel expert, Fuel Fixer · last checked 28 September 2026 ## About old petrol disposal in Point The trouble with a tank of forgotten petrol is that it quietly turns from fuel into a liability. It loses combustibility, gains acidity, absorbs water where there is ethanol, and coats the fuel system in varnish. Because it is flammable hazardous waste, the safe answer is to have it removed. A useful tell is the smell: fresh petrol is sharp and volatile, stale petrol turns sour, flat or faintly like varnish. A darkened colour or a cloudy layer at the bottom of a can is the other giveaway that it has gone. 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. Done properly, disposal gives you a defensible trail. The fuel from Point is destroyed or recovered at a licensed facility, and the documentation issued is what protects you under the duty-of-care regime. ## Local Scottish old petrol disposal in Point: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | Council area | Na h-Eileanan Siar | 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 Point We collect and dispose of old petrol across Point from seized and non-runner project vehicles, and tanks emptied before restoration or bodywork.

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.

Just say what is in it when you call. ### One operator, four sites Fuel Fixer Scotland is the Scottish arm of Fuel Fixer Ltd.
