Questions about contaminated fuel collection in Clackmannan
What is diesel bug?
A growth of bacteria and fungi where water meets diesel. Tanks around Clackmannan that have stood with water in them are where it usually turns up.
Will contaminated fuel from Clackmannan always cost me money?
Not always. Fuel with a little water or another material can still have recoverable value. Sludge, tank bottoms and heavy diesel bug usually carry a charge.
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 Clackmannan.
