Wrong Fuel Doctor Highstreet - Fuel Rescue Highstreet
It was about seven pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were sitting talking about the weekend's footy, waiting for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Highstreet lease car in error. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, since it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the lady quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and much less concerned. A fuel drain well done in my opinion!
