Wrong Fuel in Car Meltham - Petrol in Diesel Car Meltham
A fairly concerned driver phoned us from the Total filling station to tell us that he put unleaded in to his diesel Meltham; he wasn't totally sure how he'd managed to do it. We said to him it was not a concern and quickly had our engineer out to him to drain the incorrect fuel from his vehicle. Having removed the wrong fuel, he was shortly back behind the wheel. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the person who came to carry out the fuel drain was especially fantastic - he didn't make me feel like an idiot."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Meltham - Fuel Rescue Meltham
It was around ten pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring! James and I were seated there talking about the golf results, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station and filled petrol in her diesel Meltham rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from us, we could find the lady right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. A misfuel correction done well in my opinion!
