## Describing contaminated fuel in Catford

## Questions about contaminated fuel collection in Catford

### Can you take fuel with AdBlue in it?

Yes. Tell us it is there and roughly how much; AdBlue is mostly water, so it reduces the recoverable fuel in a load from Catford.

### Do I need to test the fuel first?

No. A description, photos and a look at a sample in a clear jar are enough for us to start.

### What is diesel bug?

A growth of bacteria and fungi where water meets diesel. Tanks around Catford that have stood with water in them are where it usually turns up.
