Wrong Fuel Doctor Goosehill - Fuel Rescue Goosehill
I had enjoyed a terrific afternoon hiking on the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I was on the way to help a young couple who were vacationing. They had pulled over after filling diesel in their Goosehill, and they were around an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this happens on daily basis and that it's nothing to worry about, but he still got an earful by his better half. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!
