On arrival of the technician at your location
Once the mechanic is with you and has access to your vehicle, his first task is to confirm whether the problem of your vehicle is due to incorrect fuel or not. If the finding is negative, no services will be carried out on fixing the suspected wrong fuel in a vehicle. You won't have to pay for the quoted services, rather, a call out charge will be asked of you.

Water and AdBlue Contamination
Contamination of fuel by water is another issue which can make your vehicle function badly. Symptoms cited above for an engine with the wrong fuel can also be observed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke appearing out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the vehicle runs and even failing to run at all. This situation of water contamination can extend its damage to the fuel filters.
Putting AdBlue in the fuel tank can also make your vehicle to display similar signs. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should only be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the vehicle rather than directly into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If this is added into the fuel tank by somebody who knows nothing of AdBlue, the outcome would be not good for the engine.
But don’t worry as regardless of whether it is an issue of contaminated fuel due to water or AdBlue, we are still able to help you. We can get you back to your journey after we do the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Southfleet - Fuel Rescue Southfleet
What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a gloomy Sunday and we were en route to help an older sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel Southfleet. I had been informed she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a backwater lane en route to visit her godchildren. I got her location punched into the Satnav and got there within an hour. I arrived at the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm getting quite forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel as I'd only just got it a short while back when my old car, which I had used for over twenty five years, inevitably died on me". I finished the drain and she offered me a peppermint and said thank you. What a pleasant woman!

Now I am not necessarily that enthusiastic about doing the job on weekends, and a week ago was the same. I had only just left home after eating a superb lunch made for me by the better half, and I was on the way to help a man because he put the wrong petrol in his Southfleet. He was only nearby and so I arrived with him soon. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Lord! I had my thoughts on something else and didn't perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I inflicted problems through running it?" I determined there probably should not be any kind of damage and also I would remove the fuel quickly. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and thus one more contented motorist was able to continue his traveling without any subsequent difficulty. He could hardly stop thanking me, and this helps make earning a living on weekends just a tiny bit easier in my opinion!
