Describing contaminated fuel in Sale
Tell us what you know and what you do not. An honest "not sure" is more useful than a guess, because a load that turns out very different can change the terms.
Collections from Sale 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 Sale
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 Sale.
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 Sale that have stood with water in them are where it usually turns up.
