It was before 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were sitting there going over the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the next job of the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Yealand Redmayne and put the wrong fuel in a diesel buff Land Rover Defender 110 rental in error. The poor thing was pretty agitated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was just a short distance from us, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and much less stressed. Another job in Lancashire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel is going to lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases very simply.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.

3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
