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.
