It was just after ten pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were sitting there going over the sports rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Ugford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel luxury Range Rover lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we were able to find her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and much less concerned. One more fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Tuesday and I was off to assist an old sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel winter grey Land Rover Range Rover Classic in Ugford. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a backwater road along the way to visit her godchildren. I plugged her location into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I have been getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd only bought it a short while ago because my old one, which I had owned for over 30 years, inevitably died". I completed the drain and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Wiltshire lady!

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.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• 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. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
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.
