Wrong Fuel in Car Miles Hill - Petrol in Diesel Car Miles Hill
I'd had a great day golfing during my holiday and felt satisfied the following working day as I set out to assist a new family who were on vacation. They'd pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their Miles Hill, and they were approximately an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady telling her husband off for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place all the time and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, however he all the same got an earful by his better half. Unlucky chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed so long and considered what my wife would ask me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

It was close to ten pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were resting talking over the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the seventh call for the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Miles Hill hire car by mistake. The poor thing was quite irritated apparently, crying "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and less worried. Another misfuel correction done well in my books!
