Wrong Fuel in Car Edgerton - Petrol in Diesel Car Edgerton
It was before ten pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were sitting talking about the footy rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage and filled petrol in a diesel Edgerton hire car in error. She was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and not so worried. One more fuel drain well done in my opinion!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Edgerton - Fuel Rescue Edgerton
A fairly alarmed driver phoned us from the Total filling station to advise us that he put petrol into his diesel Edgerton; he wasn't entirely sure how he'd managed to do it. We explained to him it was not a problem and soon had our specialist out to him to drain the contaminated fuel from his vehicle. Having taken away the bad fuel, he was soon back behind the wheel. He told us; "I am honestly stunned I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the man who came out to undertake the fuel drain was genuinely nice - he did not make me seem like a plonker."
