Wrong Fuel in Car Birkby - Petrol in Diesel Car Birkby
Now I am not necessarily too interested in doing the job weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed home after a superb dinner made for me by the better half, and I was on my way to deal with a man after he had filled the wrong petrol in his Birkby. He was situated nearby so I was on scene almost immediately. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my thoughts on stuff and did not ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I inflicted any kind of damage by running it?" I determined that truth be told there probably should not be problems and that also I'd drain the wrong fuel as quickly as possible for him. Needless to say I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and then another pleased motorist had the ability to continue their journey with no hassle. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and this is what helps make working on weekends just a little bit better for me!

A customer with a full car of kids in her diesel Birkby had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the Tesco filling station. She phoned us sobbing and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what might happen to her vehicle . We told her that the car should be alright and that she would be back up and running soon. When we got there she was visible distressed but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked.
