Wrong Fuel in Car Horbury Bridge - Petrol in Diesel Car Horbury Bridge
A customer called us from his place on a close. He explained, "My car (a Horbury Bridge) is not starting up and is generating awful noises when I flip the key." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then reckoned he would solve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He said he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.

Tales from our Horbury Bridge team:
Wrong Fuel in Car Horbury Bridge - Petrol in Diesel Car Horbury Bridge
I'd had a perfect afternoon hiking on the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the following morning as I headed out to help a new family on holiday. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their Horbury Bridge, and the car was close to an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the woman chastising her partner for actually being so daft. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this happens everyday and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted good-bye and thought about what my wife would ask me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I'd never live it down!

It was just after ten pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were seated there talking about the weekend's footy results, waiting for the 6th job that day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP filling garage and put petrol in a diesel Horbury Bridge rental car in error. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the car to a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from the office, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and less anxious. One more fuel drain well done in my opinion!
