This is hazardous waste in law, which is why it is pumped out, carried under a registered carrier and disposed of properly rather than tipped or left.

About old diesel collection in Fairwater Cwmbran
A diesel bulk tank that has stood between jobs often looks fine on top and is anything but at the bottom. Sediment, water and microbial sludge collect below the draw-off, waiting to block the first filter downstream once the tank is used again.
Whether old diesel can be saved depends on how far gone it is. Lightly contaminated fuel can sometimes be polished — filtered and dewatered — but water-laden, bugged or long-standing diesel is normally removed and the tank cleaned.
Collection is the practical half of the job: someone comes to where the diesel is, pumps it out of the tank, bowser, drums or cans, checks the container for residue and takes it away under a waste transfer note. You keep the note as proof it was handled correctly.
A collection runs to a booked slot rather than a wait. We confirm the price and window against the litres and access in Fairwater Cwmbran, the carrier attends, draws the fuel off, and the transfer note is issued there and then as your record.

Common questions
Do you collect old diesel in Fairwater Cwmbran?
Yes — across Fairwater Cwmbran and the rest of Torfaen. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the old diesel and issues a waste transfer note on site.
What is diesel bug?
A microbial growth that lives at the boundary of water and diesel in a standing tank. It forms a dark sludge that blocks filters and lines and is a common reason stored diesel has to be removed.
Is old diesel hazardous waste?
Yes. Like petrol it cannot be tipped away or binned. A registered carrier pumps it out and it is disposed of through a permitted facility, with a transfer note issued on site.
Can contaminated diesel be cleaned instead of removed?
Polishing can recover lightly contaminated diesel, but heavily bugged or watered fuel is usually removed and the tank cleaned. We can advise once we know the state of it.
Will you empty a farm or bulk tank?
Yes — domestic, farm, estate and commercial bulk tanks, bowsers and drums. Give us the volume in litres and the access and you get a price and a slot before we travel.
