Questions about contaminated fuel collection in Harleston (IP20)
Will contaminated fuel from Harleston (IP20) 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 Harleston (IP20).
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.
