Questions about mixed fuel collection in Leicester
Do you buy mixed fuel in Leicester?
Often, yes. Mixed petrol and diesel usually still has recoverable value, so a load from Leicester can earn a rebate once it has been assessed.
Where does mixed fuel in Leicester usually come from?
Mostly from vehicle depollution, where petrol and diesel drain into the same container, and from garages draining misfuelled vehicles.
Should I keep petrol and diesel separate?
If your set-up allows it, yes, but mixed fuel is what most dismantlers around Leicester produce, and we collect it as it is.
