Questions about contaminated fuel collection in Crowborough (TN6)

Yes. Tell us it is there and roughly how much; AdBlue is mostly water, so it reduces the recoverable fuel in a load from Crowborough (TN6).
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 Crowborough (TN6) that have stood with water in them are where it usually turns up.
