About red diesel disposal in Seafield
Red diesel is chemically much like white diesel — it oxidises, sludges and grows the same bug over time — but it carries a legal marker that changes how it must be handled. You cannot quietly use up stock that has fallen outside the permitted uses.
The 2022 change is the reason for a lot of these calls. Sectors that lost the entitlement — construction, plant hire, many commercial users — were left with red diesel they could no longer put in a machine, and the compliant answer is removal and documented disposal.
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 Seafield goes to a permitted facility, is handled under environmental rules, and the transfer note is your audit trail showing it was dealt with lawfully.

Common questions
Do you dispose of red diesel in Seafield?
Yes — across Seafield and the rest of West Lothian. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the red diesel and issues a waste transfer note on site.
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.
