It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and me were seated there discussing the recent football results, waiting for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Harbledown and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat hire car by mistake. The poor lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected position and, since it was only a short distance off from us, we could reach the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Kent well done in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Harbledown - Harbledown Vehicle Misfuel
Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Wednesday and I was off to help an old sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel Volvo in Harbledown. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a backwater road en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched into the TomTom and got there inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the work she said to me, "Now I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel as I'd just bought it several days back right after my former one, which I'd had for over 30 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. What a lovely Kent lady!

AdBlue Contamination
All around Kent we have seen increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being aware of the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.
So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And definitely don't start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases very expediently.
Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Recent Fuel Drains in Harbledown
Following are comments and cases of wrong fuel removal we have performed in Harbledown:
Now I'm not ever so keen on carrying out work on weekends, and a while back was the same. I'd just left home after eating a magnificent roast made for us by the wife, and I was on my way to help a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his Jaguar. He was only in Harbledown so it wasn't long before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up at the car and started work he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on something else and did not grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on problems by simply running it?" I stated truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also I'd personally drain the fuel at once. As expected I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and then yet another contented customer was able to continue his journey with no fuss. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Kent just that little bit less painful for me personally!
Wrong Fuel Assist Harbledown - Harbledown Wrong Fuel Assist
A driver from Harbledown with her kids in her diesel MINI had filled her vehicle with £40 of petrol at the petrol station. She phoned us weeping and genuinely upset as she had never wrong fuelled before and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that all should be alright and that she would be back on the road quickly. When we arrived she was visible upset but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon brightened up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the youngsters on board."
