It was after ten pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were seated talking about the rugby results, ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Cullingworth rental by mistake. The poor thing was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and much less anxious. A fuel drain done well in my opinion!

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:
- How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
- Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

It was just after eight pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated there discussing the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the next telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station and filled petrol in her diesel Cullingworth lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe spot and, because it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could find the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away contented and not so concerned. A fuel drain well done in my books!
