It was just after eight pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were resting there going over the sports, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Folkestone and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Jaguar rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very troubled it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car!

Wrong Fuel in Car Folkestone - Folkestone Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a great day hiking during the weekend and felt contented the following working day as I set out to assist a young family away in Folkestone. They broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their MG, and were around an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal telling off her hubby for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this situation occurs continuously in Kent and that it's really nothing to stress about, nevertheless he yet still got an earful. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some correct fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I shouted good-bye and pondered on what my wife would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
