Wrong Fuel Doctor Grange - Fuel Rescue Grange
I had appreciated a fantastic afternoon golfing during the weekend and felt cheerful the following working day as I set off to help a young couple who were holidaying. They conked out after inserting diesel in their Grange, and were close to an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the wife telling her partner off for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you possibly be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this takes place frequently and that it's truly nothing at all to be concerned about, but he all the same had an earful. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and considered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
