Questions about redundant fuel collection in Methil

How much notice do you need for a site closure in Methil?

As much as you can give. Tell us the date the fuel must be gone and we plan around it.

Does old fuel in Methil 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.
