Describing contaminated fuel in Wetherby
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.
Moving waste fuel from Wetherby is covered by the hazardous waste rules for England: a registered carrier, a hazardous waste consignment note for each load, and records kept for three years.
Questions about contaminated fuel collection in Wetherby
Will contaminated fuel from Wetherby 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 Wetherby.
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.
