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. 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. Disposal is what keeps you clean under duty-of-care rules: the petrol goes to a permitted facility rather than anywhere convenient, and the transfer note proves where it went and when. For disposal, the licensed route and the documentation are the job. Fuel collected in Wick is taken to a permitted facility, recovered or destroyed, and logged on a transfer note you keep as compliance evidence. ## Local Scottish old petrol disposal in Wick: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and licensed disposal | Council area | Highland | Postcode districts | KW1 | 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 Wick In Wick the usual sources of old petrol we collect and dispose of are 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. 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.
