Reviewed by [**Rambo S** ](/editorial/), Wrong fuel expert, Fuel Fixer · last checked 30 September 2026 ## About old petrol disposal in Ullapool The problem with old petrol is chemistry, not bad luck. 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. Safe disposal routes the petrol to a licensed facility for recovery or destruction and documents it, so the duty of care sits with a paper trail rather than with you guessing. Disposal is not just removal — it is provable removal. The waste from Ullapool reaches a licensed facility, and the transfer note documents the chain so that duty of care sits with paperwork rather than with your word. ## Local Scottish old petrol disposal in Ullapool: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | Council area | Highland | Postcode districts | IV26 | 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 Ullapool The old petrol we collect and dispose of in and around Ullapool tends to come from classic and project cars stood over winter, motorbikes taken off the road, and the forgotten half-tank in a barn find.

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.
