Wrong Fuel in Car Bents Head - Petrol in Diesel Car Bents Head

It was still in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who resides not far away, reached him in approximately a quarter hour.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Bents Head - Fuel Rescue Bents Head
I am not that keen on doing the job Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd just come away from the wife and kids filled with a wonderful lunch cooked for me by the missus, and I was en route to help a guy after he had put the incorrect fuel in his Bents Head. He was stationed nearby and so I arrived on scene almost immediately. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and got out he explained to me "Thank God! I had my concentration on something else and failed to grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I caused problems as a result of running it?" I determined that generally there shouldn't be any kind of harm and that I'd drain the contaminated fuel as soon as possible. Naturally I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and another contented motorist was able to continue on his ride without difficulty. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this tends to make working on weekends just that small bit better for me!
