Wrong Fuel in Car Old Dolphin - Petrol in Diesel Car Old Dolphin
Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and I was on the way to assist an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel Old Dolphin. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a rural lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and arrived within an hour. I arrived at the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel as I'd only purchased it a couple of days back after my old one, which I had had for in excess of thirty years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a lovely woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Old Dolphin - Petrol in Diesel Car Old Dolphin
It was close to 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were resting talking about the recent footy results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Old Dolphin rental car in error. The poor thing was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Although we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and not so apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction well done in my books!
