What we need to collect diesel that failed a lab test
Tell us your name or business and the postcode, roughly how much waste diesel you have and in what containers, whether anything else has got into it, how a vehicle reaches it, and whether you need one collection or regular ones.
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.
