Questions about contaminated fuel collection in Princes Risborough

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 Princes Risborough that have stood with water in them are where it usually turns up.
