Does anyone know of a specialist able to test diesel for possible contamination?. I am based in North Essex near the Hertfordshire border. Thanks.

No need to test the diesel that I put in my car on saturday evening as the fuel supplier has admitted liability for suppling contaminated diesel. In my case, my car broke down about 1 mile from the service station and couldn't be re-started by the AA. The AA man checked the fuel, before attempting to re-start. He said it was definately diesel, but "a bit cloudy" and towed me home. The contaminant was water and the sample of the diesel I have from the VW garage is quite turbid , so I suspect there might also be some surfactant present. I think water contamination of diesel must be be rare, because I think the VW dealership didn't believe water contamination at first, but they do now after having to fix more cars that filled up at the same service station as me. Anyway, after flushing out the fuel system, the car appears to be OK, although I wonder if any damage has been done. At least the Fuel supplier admitted the contamination quickly, but it must have been pretty obvious.
