Clearing old fuel stock in Perth
Fuel that has stood for a year or more in a tank near Perth may have separated or picked up water. A dip with water-finding paste before you enquire tells us a lot.
In Perth, 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 Perth
How much notice do you need for a site closure in Perth?
As much as you can give. Tell us the date the fuel must be gone and we plan around it.
Does old fuel in Perth 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.
