Wrong Fuel in Car Boothroyd - Petrol in Diesel Car Boothroyd
I'm not ever excessively inclined to running weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd only just come away from home following a superb dinner made by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a guy because he put the incorrect fuel in his Boothroyd. He was only nearby hence I arrived on scene very quickly. As I pulled up right behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my thoughts on stuff and did not realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about some damage by running it?" I explained that generally there shouldn't be any damage and also that I would personally get the fuel drained at once. Needless to say I removed the fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and then yet another pleased motorist was able to continue his journey without the difficulty. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what makes earning a living on Sundays just that tiny bit less painful to me!
