Kerosene uplifted from domestic tanks, bunded tanks and drums by a registered carrier, with paperwork issued. A registered waste carrier attends your home, farm, depot, marina or commercial site, pumps the fuel out of the tank, drums or bowser, removes residue and issues a waste transfer note on site — typically 1-3 hours, free consultation. Fuel is a controlled waste. It leaves with us and is processed for recycling through licensed channels, never poured away.

Fuel and oil are controlled wastes under UK environmental law, and the duty of care sits with whoever produced them — you. Handing it to an unregistered collector does not transfer that liability. Kerosene uplifted from domestic tanks, bunded tanks and drums by a registered carrier, with paperwork issued. Every uplift comes with a waste transfer note issued on site, and the fuel is processed for recycling through licensed channels. Tanks are checked for residue and sludge, which is where most of the contamination sits. ## What it costs What a collection involves. Advice on any of it is free — phone 01295 380724. What you have | What is involved | Typical job | Time on site | Domestic tank, under 500 litres | Pump out, tank check, waste transfer note | Per litre, quoted separately | 1–2 hours | Domestic tank, 500–2,500 litres | Bulk uplift, sludge removal, documentation | Quoted per litre | 2–3 hours | Commercial tank or bunded store | Site survey, bulk uplift, consignment paperwork | Quoted per job | Half day | Drums, jerry cans, bowsers | Collection and compliant disposal | Quoted per litre | Under 1 hour | Contaminated or sludged fuel | Uplift plus tank clean and residue removal | Quoted per job | 2–4 hours | **Free consultation — £0** What this repository offers is a consultation, and it costs nothing. Phone 01295 380724 and you will speak to one of our engine scientists, fuel-system engineers and misfuel specialists — people who work on contaminated fuel systems for a living and would be glad to help. Tell them what went into the tank, roughly how much, what the vehicle is, and whether the engine has run. They will work out the concentration with you, tell you which components are exposed, and set out the realistic outcomes. There is nothing to buy and no obligation of any kind. If the honest answer is that you need nobody at all, that is the answer you will be given — and roughly a third of callers are in exactly that position.

Across recent reviews, the themes customers raise most often are staff who stay polite, professional and reassuring during what is a stressful situation, and how quickly a technician arrives and gets the vehicle back on the road. The most common criticism is price. Some customers have felt the cost of an emergency drain was steep for a job that takes under two hours, and that is fair comment on an emergency call-out. It is why the misfuel call-out fee is free and why published repair figures span two orders of magnitude before a technician sets off — so nothing about the cost is a surprise at the roadside. ## Common questions **Do you issue a waste transfer note for kerosene collection?** Yes. Fuel is a controlled waste, and a waste transfer note is issued on site at every collection so your duty of care in the UK is documented. **How much does kerosene collection cost in the UK?** It is priced per litre or per job depending on volume, access and fuel type. You get the figure on the phone before anyone travels — call 01295 380724. **How much can you take in one visit?** Anything from a few drums to a full commercial tank. Domestic collections are usually done in one to two hours; bulk and bunded stores are surveyed and scheduled. **Can you take contaminated or sludged fuel?** Yes. Water ingress, diesel bug, mixed fuel and tank sludge are all handled, including residue removal and a tank check. **Where does the fuel go?** It leaves with a registered waste carrier and is processed for recycling through licensed channels. It is never poured away or burned off. **Do you cover the UK?** Yes. Collections are made across the UK from homes, farms, depots, marinas and commercial sites.
