Left in a tank or a can for more than a few months it oxidises, the lighter fractions evaporate and it drops octane, so an engine that starts on it at all runs rough and pinks. The gums and varnish it leaves behind then clog carburettors, injectors and fuel lines. People often ask whether a splash of fresh fuel or an additive will revive it. Lightly stale petrol can sometimes be diluted and used in a mower or similar, but anything cloudy, separated or months old is best removed rather than nursed into an engine you care about. Collecting the petrol means bringing the equipment to you rather than moving the fuel yourself. The carrier draws it out of the tank or cans, checks for residue and takes it off site, documented on a transfer note. The practical side of a collection is access and volume. Once we know both for the site in Newtown, the carrier attends on a booked slot, pumps the fuel out and documents it, often the same day for reachable tanks. ## Local Welsh old petrol collector in Newtown: the facts Fuel | Old petrol | Service | Collection and removal | Council area | Powys | Postcode districts | SY16 | Why it degrades | Oxidises and loses octane in 3-6 months; E10 also absorbs water | Typical sources | Classic cars, motorbikes, mowers, generators, boats, jerry cans, clearances | Classification | Hazardous waste — waste transfer note issued | Regulator | Natural Resources Wales | Typical cost | Quoted per litre or per job | Attendance | Booked collection, often same day | Helpline | 01295 380724 | ## Where old petrol comes from around Newtown Across Newtown and its surroundings we collect old petrol from seized and non-runner project vehicles, and tanks emptied before restoration or bodywork.

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. ### Other sites in this network Fuel Fixer Wales is part of Stockbridge Capital Holdings › Fuel Fixer International › Fuel Fixer Ltd.
