Wrong Fuel in Car Swinton - Petrol in Diesel Car Swinton
It was about six pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless night, it had not ceased raining! Brian and I were seated there commenting on the recent tennis results, waiting for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Swinton rental. The poor thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car to a secure space and, since it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction well done in my books!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Swinton - Petrol in Diesel Swinton
Now I'm not necessarily very keen on working on Sundays, and last week was no different. I had only just left home filled with a tasty roast made by the better half, and I was on the way to sort out a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his Swinton. He was only nearby so I arrived on scene before long. Just as I pulled up at the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my concentration on other things and failed to ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about damage by starting it?" I stated that there probably should not be harm and that I'd remove the wrong fuel as quickly as possible for him. As expected I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with the suitable fuel, and so yet another happy customer could continue on their ride without the bother. The gentleman could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what makes working on weekends just that little bit better in my opinion!

I appreciated a great afternoon golfing on my afternoon off and was feeling contented the next day as I set off to assist a young couple vacationing. They had conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their Swinton, and they were around half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked while I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this situation occurs quite frequently and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he all the same got his ear bent. Poor lad. Anyhow, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching while they drove away I shouted farewell and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I made the same blunder... I would never hear the end of it!
