Auto express has a list of costs to remove petrol from diesel cars ranging from £110 for a Skoda to £5000 for a Chrysler. The fl2 came in at £4300, fuel lines pumps filters etc.
Apparently Skoda reckons if the engine had not been started draining the tank and changing the filter would do, Whereas LR advices changing all the fuel lines pumps filters etc as a precaution. personally I would do the Skoda trick and hope for the best!

Either way I don't intend to find out ..but it wouldn't be the first stupid thing I have ever done

The LR dealer Auto Express talked to claimed to be getting about four miss-fuelled fl2's a week

I think you can get insurance against miss-fueling, I have heard stories of people who have put a few litres of petrol in by accident realised their error topped up with diesel and driven away no problems

Reading the article further ,It seems wise if you do miss-fuel not to call Land-rover as if you do so, then not let them change all these parts your future warranty will be void, where as if you use a local garage LR will never know and your warranty will be safer  At work

With all Land Rovers it is absolutely fatal if you turn the key if you have misfueled - the fuel pump is diesel lubricated and the benzine in petrol will dissolve the seals. Over on D3 and RRS there have been lots of reports of folks misfuelling - if you missfuel a TDv6 RRS and drive it away it will cost you or your insurers about £10k to repair the damage and usually means replacement of all the fuel system and possibly a new engine as well................. so £4500 for a F2 is getting off lightly!
LR dealers will fix it the Skoda way if you haven't turned the key passed position 2 or started the engine. How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Check your policy - you may find it is covered as accidental damage. How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

I've looked on the web, the verdict is its unlikely that insurance will cover miss fuelling. So here's hoping I'm not distracted while filling the tank! Especially at one of those idiot garages that puts petrol in pumps with black nozzles  At work

You could try looking at the AA website, they do a service called fuel assist. It seems to be very basic draining of the tank and the advice concurs with previous posts - DO NOT START THE ENGINE if you realise in time.

You could always paint
DIESEL
on the side by the filler cap

Don't Freelanders have all sorts of Diesel stickers in the filler flap and on the cap? There is a special device on the market that Lookers Land Rover (and I think Charles Hurst are part of the Lookers group) were fitting to cars that makes misfueling impossible. Maybe James can tell us if their dealership has these available.................... How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Bring back the old days when there were seperate diesel pumps at the forecourt rather than 1 pump that lets you have diesel, unleaded and superunleaded!! I do a lot of travelling so visit many different fuel stations and not all forecourts use black for diesel Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black

Too right - some places use Green, some Yellow and I've seen Blue hoses for diesel - do we need to lobby Parilament for a standard colour for diesel hoses  How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

There are lots of scare stories put about regarding misfueling.
Most manufacturers list a full fuel system replacement when asked what needs doing and most dealers will tell you the same but IME in 90% of cases, even if you start the engine and drive away, a drain down and refill will have you back on the road. A friend did it with her Jeep. Drove it until it stopped. Rang the dealer and got the £4k story, then rang a local garage, had it towed, drained and refilled. She drove home again. Ok - you could say she was lucky, but she then did it again a few months later!. I'm not saying it hasn't shortened the life of the fuel pump in some way but I can say its still running fine 2 years later.

They talk about how precise the pumps and seals are but these cars are designed to be used around the world. Here, we have clean quality fuel. In other parts of the world the fuel will be contaminated with all sorts, including chemicals and dirt, but the car must be built to cope. Hence why you can get another 30hp with a simple chip. The cars are designed to cope with far worse treatment than they get here in blighty, fuel pumps included. 07 Freelander 2 TD4SE Tambora Flame, side steps, privacy glass, mud flaps, boot liner and a tow bar. Ok it's the Wifes but she lets me drive it occasionally - if I've been good!

Thats the opinion I take . The engine probably isn't as fragile as the dealers tells you. So If I did missfuel I'd defiantly call the local garage first, there is no need for LR to know about it. At work

Why not try concentrating when refuelling?

I know it's hard if you have a diesel car and a petrol one but come on, you wouldn't accidentally drink bleach instead of orange juice would you?
