Clearing old fuel stock in Dundee
Road diesel can contain up to 7% biodiesel, which takes up water and breaks down over time; E10 petrol can separate as its ethanol absorbs water. Old fuel may not be usable, but much of it can still be recovered.
In Dundee, as across Scotland, waste fuel is special waste under SEPA's rules, and copies of the consignment notes are kept for three years.
Questions about redundant fuel collection in Dundee
How much notice do you need for a site closure in Dundee?
As much as you can give. Tell us the date the fuel must be gone and we plan around it.
Does old fuel in Dundee have any value?
Often, yes. Fuel that is no longer fit to use can still hold recoverable hydrocarbons; age, water and contamination reduce what it is worth.
Can you empty a tank that is being taken out of use?
Yes, we remove the fuel. Tell us the tank size, what is in it and your deadline.
