Wrong Fuel Doctor Leaventhorpe - Fuel Rescue Leaventhorpe
I had enjoyed a fantastic evening golfing on my holiday and felt delighted the following day as I headed out to assist a new family who were vacationing. They had conked out after putting petrol in their Leaventhorpe, and the car was close to an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl telling her partner off for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing takes place on a regular basis and that it's truly nothing to be concerned about, and yet he yet still had an earful. Poor guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed goodbye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I did the very same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
