Clearing old fuel stock in Tilbury
Road diesel can contain up to 7% biodiesel, which takes up water and breaks down over time; E10 petrol can separate as its ethanol absorbs water. Old fuel may not be usable, but much of it can still be recovered.
Moving waste fuel from Tilbury is covered by the hazardous waste rules for England: a registered carrier, a hazardous waste consignment note for each load, and records kept for three years.
