Wrong Fuel in Car Hole Bottom - Petrol in Diesel Car Hole Bottom
Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and we were off to help an old lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Hole Bottom. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a rural lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and got there in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm getting quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel as I had only purchased it a short while ago after my former one, which I had owned for about 30 years, eventually died". I finished the job and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. Such a lovely woman!
