# Contaminated fuel collection in Grimsby

## Describing contaminated fuel in Grimsby

A clear jar and five minutes tell us most of what we need: look for a water layer at the bottom, slime between layers, and a red tint that points to gas oil.

Collections from Grimsby follow English rules: the fuel is hazardous waste, it travels on a hazardous waste consignment note, and the permitted site that receives it records it on the Digital Waste Tracking service.

## Questions about contaminated fuel collection in Grimsby

### 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 Grimsby that have stood with water in them are where it usually turns up.

### Will contaminated fuel from Grimsby 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.
