It was before six pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated talking about the recent football rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Horseman Side and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel super Land Rover Defender lease car. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Essex done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty simply.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.
