Wrong Fuel in Car Manywells Height - Petrol in Diesel Car Manywells Height
I'd had a terrific day golfing during my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the following day as I headed out to assist a young family away. They had pulled over after putting petrol in their Manywells Height, and were about half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the lady berating her husband for actually being so stupid. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this situation takes place constantly and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, however he still had an earful by his better half. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved good-bye and wondered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car Manywells Height - Petrol in Diesel Car Manywells Height
It was just after 5 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were seated discussing the golf results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Manywells Height rental car in error. She was somewhat troubled apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less stressed. Another fuel drain well done in my books!
