Who collects diesel drained from a misfuelled vehicle?
In brief
City Fuel Services collects diesel drained from a misfuelled vehicle from anyone holding it across England, Wales and mainland Scotland. Drained fuel is usually mixed fuel and keeps recoverable value, especially once it has been bulked up. Call 07950 582635 or send an enquiry.
What we need to collect diesel drained from a misfuelled vehicle
We need five things: who and where you are, how much waste diesel there is, what it is and anything mixed in, how it is stored and reached, and whether this is a one-off.
Checking diesel before collection
A sample in a clear jar shows water, haze and sediment; water-finding paste on a dipstick shows free water at the bottom of a tank. Laboratory tests measure flash point, density, water content and microbial contamination.
How City Fuel Services handles waste diesel
We collect waste diesel from cans and drums up to bulk tanks, across England, Wales and mainland Scotland, from our licensed site in Droylsden, Manchester. Terms, a rebate or a charge, are agreed before collection.
