It was about 8 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were sitting there discussing the recent tennis rankings, waiting around for the next job of the day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Sawyers Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel navy blue Range Rover Evoque rental car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, as it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to find her quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in fuel tank may trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances quite simply.
You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

It truly was an unsociable hour to be up. It was about dawn and noone was stirring. It had been quite uneventful up to now, and me and Ray were relaxing reading through a couple of old articles. That was a rare calm moment in Wiltshire. It was indeed that calm that the moment the phone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist on the phone said: "I have only just concluded my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel uncle's Chrysler Grand Voyager by mistake". We instructed him to tell us where he was situated and we set off, ending up in Sawyers Hill no more than an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the car. He thanked us profusely for showing up so quickly. While we were heading back home we spotted two young women at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a flat. So we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.
