Wrong Fuel in Car Flockton Moor - Petrol in Diesel Car Flockton Moor
Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a bright Saturday and we were off to assist an old woman who put petrol in her diesel Flockton Moor. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was broken down along a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched the location into the Satnav and got there within 60 minutes. I got to the destination and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was working she said, "I am becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only just got it a week back when my other one, which I had for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain done and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Flockton Moor - Petrol in Diesel Car Flockton Moor
It was just after 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were seated talking about the recent sports results, at the ready for the 6th job that day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage and put petrol in her diesel Flockton Moor rental in error. The poor lady was very troubled apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, also that such things sadly happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was only a short distance away from us, we could arrive at the woman right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and much less concerned. One more fuel drain well done in my opinion!

I had a great evening cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I headed out to help a new couple on vacation. They'd conked out after filling petrol in their Flockton Moor, and the car was around half an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled as I listened to the lady chastising her man for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this comes to pass all the time and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he still got an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some right fuel. While they drove off I shouted so long and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
