Stories from our Woodstock staff:
Wrong Fuel in Car Woodstock - Petrol in Diesel Car Woodstock
It was close to 10 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated talking about the golf, waiting around for the next call of the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station and filled petrol in her diesel Woodstock hire car in error. The poor lady was fairly troubled apparently, crying "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, because it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to find her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and less worried. One more misfuel correction well done in my opinion!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Woodstock - Fuel Rescue Woodstock
Now I am not very interested in working on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just left the wife and kids after a magnificent Sunday roast made by the wife, and I was on the way to help a fellow because he filled the incorrect fuel in his Woodstock. He was only nearby so it wouldn't be long before I reached him. Just as I drove up at the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on other considerations and didn't grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought on any damage by simply driving it?" I stated generally there should not be any kind of harm and that also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and thus yet another happy customer had the ability to carry on with their traveling without any subsequent fuss. He did not stop thanking me, and this is what helps make carrying out work on Sundays a little bit easier to me!
