Reviewed by [**Rambo S** ](/editorial/), Wrong fuel expert, Fuel Fixer · last checked 30 September 2026 ## About red diesel collection in Burnside Two clocks run on stored red diesel at once. Like any diesel it ages, waters and bugs; unlike white diesel, it also carries a rebate marker that HMRC takes seriously, so both the fuel and the paperwork have to be dealt with cleanly. Disposal of red diesel is handled as hazardous waste like any diesel, but the documentation carries extra weight: the transfer note is evidence for HMRC as well as the environmental regulator that rebated stock was disposed of and not diverted. Collecting the red diesel means bringing the equipment to you rather than moving the fuel yourself. The carrier draws it out of the tank or cans, checks for residue and takes it off site, documented on a transfer note. A collection is arranged around your site in Burnside: we match the kit to the access, quote per litre on the volume, and book a window. The lift is a short visit — pump out, check the vessel, issue the note. ## Local Scottish red diesel collector in Burnside: the facts Fuel | Red diesel | Service | Collection and removal | Council area | South Lanarkshire | Why it degrades | Ages like diesel, plus a legal marker dye that stains tanks | Typical sources | Farms, plant, generators, bowsers, decommissioned tanks, closing businesses | Classification | Hazardous waste — waste transfer note issued | Regulator | SEPA | Typical cost | Quoted per litre | Attendance | Booked collection, often same day | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where red diesel comes from around Burnside We collect red diesel across Burnside from farms and agricultural contractors clearing stock, and businesses that lost the entitlement in the 2022 reform.

A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the red diesel and issues a waste transfer note on site. **Why cannot I just use up my red diesel?** Since the 2022 reform most sectors outside agriculture lost the entitlement to use rebated red diesel. Using it outside the permitted cases is an offence, so surplus stock is best removed and disposed of properly. **Does the red dye matter for disposal?** The dye marks the fuel as rebated and lingers in a tank. For disposal it is handled as hazardous waste like any diesel, but the documentation matters for HMRC as well as the regulator. **Can you clear a tank so it is dye-free?** We remove the red diesel and can clean the tank so it is fit to hold road diesel again. Any residual dye is dealt with as part of the tank clean. **Will I get paperwork for HMRC?** You get a waste transfer note recording what was collected and where it went. That is your evidence of compliant disposal for both HMRC and the regulator. ### One operator, four sites Fuel Fixer Scotland is the Scottish arm of Fuel Fixer Ltd.
