Wrong Fuel in Car Knowlton - Petrol in Diesel Car Knowlton
Just had a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 am on a bright Saturday and we were on the way to help an elder lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel Knowlton. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station and was stranded along a backwater road en route to pay a visit to her family. I plugged the location in the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I got to the location and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she told me, "I am getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel because I'd only just got it a few days back right after my former car, which I owned for over thirty years, finally stopped working". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a precious woman!
