What goes on the consignment note

The note records what the waste is and its code, how much there is, its hazards, and who produced, carried and received it, with signatures at each stage.

Kerosene delivered into the wrong tank: the situation

A forecourt crossover or misdelivery puts one fuel into a tank meant for another, for example petrol into a diesel tank. Stop dispensing from the affected tank at once, isolate it, tell the supplier, and have the mixed fuel pumped out before the tank is flushed and refilled.
