# Heating oil collection in Mutley Plymouth by a licensed carrier
**Short answer**
Anyone disposing of fuel in Mutley Plymouth is responsible for it until a licensed carrier takes it. Call 01295 380724 and one will collect — tank, drums or bowser — issue a waste transfer note and take it for recycling. Usually 1 to 3 hours, quoted per litre.

Heating oil is pumped out before a tank is replaced, decommissioned or the house changes hands, with the residue removed too.

**4.8**
 out of 5 ★★★★★

Fuel Fixer, the company behind Wrong Fuel Drain, holds a rating of 4.8 out of 5 from [2,190 reviews on Trustpilot](https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.fuelfixer.co.uk), on a profile claimed since 2017.

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 in Mutley Plymouth.

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 now starts at just £89 and why the full figure is quoted on the phone before a technician sets off — so nothing about the cost is a surprise at the roadside.

## Common questions

**How much can you take?**
From a few drums up to a full commercial tank. Larger jobs are surveyed and scheduled.

**Is old heating oil still usable?**
Sometimes, if it is clean. If it has water or sludge in it, collection and disposal is the safer option.

**Can you take sludge from the bottom of the tank?**
Yes. Residue and sludge are removed along with the fuel, and the tank is checked.

**Do I get a waste transfer note for heating oil collection?**
Yes, at every collection. It documents your duty of care for the fuel.

**Do I need to be there?**
Only if the tank is not accessible without you. Otherwise, access instructions are enough.

**Do you collect from farms and yards around Mutley Plymouth?**
Yes, as well as homes, depots, marinas and commercial sites.
