It was around 9 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were resting there talking over the recent rugby results, prepared for the next job that day to come in. Finally we had the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Steeple and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen hire car. She was very troubled apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find the customer quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Dorset well done in my mind!

Fuel Drain Steeple - Steeple Vehicle Misfuel

I appreciated a fantastic day golfing on the weekend and was feeling delighted the next morning as I set off to aid a young family who were away in Steeple. They'd pulled over after putting petrol into their Mitsubishi, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smirked while I heard to the wife telling her husband off for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this happens on daily basis in Dorset and that it's nothing to stress about, nevertheless he still got an earful by his missus. Unlucky lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good-bye and wondered what my missus would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never live it down!
