Wrong Fuel in Car Laisterdyke - Petrol in Diesel Car Laisterdyke

Now I'm not actually so enthusiastic about carrying out work on weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids filled with a lovely dinner prepared by the better half, and I was on my way to sort out a guy because he filled the incorrect petrol in his Laisterdyke. He was only nearby hence it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my thoughts on other stuff and failed to grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought about any problems by running it?" I said generally there should not be any kind of damage and also that I'd remove the fuel immediately. As expected I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and one more pleased client had the ability to continue on his traveling without the difficulty. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this makes working on weekends just that little bit easier for me personally!
