About old petrol collection in Gurnos Merthyr Tydfil
The problem with old petrol is chemistry, not bad luck. Within three to six months it begins to oxidise and separate, and modern E10 makes it worse: the ethanol pulls in water and the mix goes cloudy and acidic. Pour that through an engine and you are cleaning carburettors and injectors afterwards.
Volume is rarely an obstacle. A single jerry can, the tank of a barn-find, or a store of mixed old petrol from a workshop clear-out are all straightforward to lift once we know the rough litres and where it is.
At collection a carrier comes to the petrol wherever it sits, draws it out, checks for residue in the tank or cans, and carries it away — the transfer note recording exactly what was lifted.
Booking a collection is the easy part. Tell us the fuel, the rough litres and where the tank, bowser or cans sit in Gurnos Merthyr Tydfil, and we set a window and a price before anyone travels. On the day the carrier pumps it out, checks the vessel and leaves you the transfer note.

Common questions
Do you collect old petrol in Gurnos Merthyr Tydfil?
Yes — across Gurnos Merthyr Tydfil and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the old petrol and issues a waste transfer note on site.
How do you know petrol has gone off?
It darkens, smells sour or like varnish rather than sharp, and may look cloudy where ethanol has drawn in water. If in doubt, do not try to burn it.
Can I just pour old petrol away?
No. Petrol is flammable hazardous waste. Putting it down a drain, onto the ground or in a bin is an offence and a fire risk. A registered carrier removes it under a transfer note.
Can old petrol be recycled?
Once collected it goes to a licensed facility where it is processed for recovery or safe disposal. That routing is handled for you and documented on the transfer note.
How much old petrol will you take?
Anything from a single can to a full vehicle tank or a bulk store. Tell us the rough volume in litres and you get a price before anyone travels.
