About red diesel disposal in Mossend
Red diesel is ordinary diesel dyed to mark it as rebated fuel, taxed lower for permitted off-road uses. Since the 2022 reform stripped many sectors of the entitlement, a lot of businesses have been left holding stock they can no longer legally burn — and the dye stains any tank it sits in.
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.
Proper disposal means a permitted end point and a documented trail. The red diesel is taken to a licensed facility for recovery or safe destruction, and the transfer note is your record of compliant disposal.
Getting disposal right is about the destination and the record. The fuel from Mossend goes to a permitted facility, is handled under environmental rules, and the transfer note is your audit trail showing it was dealt with lawfully.

Do you dispose of red diesel in Mossend?

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?
