Wrong Fuel in Car Darrington - Petrol in Diesel Car Darrington
Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Saturday and I was on the way to assist an older lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel Darrington. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station and was broken down on a rural road on the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was working she said, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I had only just got it a week back right after my former car, which I owned for about 25 years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain done and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a lovely woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Darrington - Petrol in Diesel Car Darrington
A driver with a full car of kids in her diesel Darrington had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the Texaco station. She contacted us sobbing and really worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that all would be ok and that she would be up and running very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but while our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the kids on board."

It was before six pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and me were resting there commenting on the golf results, prepared for the sixth job to come in. Before long we got the call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol station and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Darrington hire car. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain done well in my opinion!
