About red diesel disposal in Caldercruix
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.
Keeping the transfer note matters here more than most. If entitlement or disposal is ever questioned, that document is the clean answer showing where the rebated fuel went and when.
Safe disposal routes the red diesel 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.
The compliance value of proper disposal is the record. The fuel leaves Caldercruix for a permitted facility, and the transfer note captures the movement — the difference between disposed of and merely gone.

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.
Do you take contaminated red diesel?
Yes — rebated fuel spoiled by water, sludge or bug is collected and disposed of the same way as any contaminated diesel, with documentation.
How is the price worked out?
Per litre against the volume and access, quoted before travel. Give us the rough litres in the tank or bowser when you call.
