## Describing contaminated fuel in Wilmslow

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.

In England, where Wilmslow is, waste fuel is hazardous waste regulated by the Environment Agency. You complete your part of the consignment note on the day and keep it with your records for three years.

## Questions about contaminated fuel collection in Wilmslow

### Will contaminated fuel from Wilmslow 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 Wilmslow.

### 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.
