In brief

What we need to collect red diesel delivered into the wrong tank

Send us five details: your business name (or name) and the collection postcode; roughly how much waste red diesel there is; what it is and any contamination; how it is stored and how a vehicle reaches it; and whether you need one collection or regular ones.

Checking red diesel before collection

A clear jar sample shows water and sediment; red colour confirms marked fuel. Laboratory tests measure water, flash point and microbial contamination, and HMRC can test for the markers.
