Wrong Fuel in Car Pickwood Scar - Petrol in Diesel Car Pickwood Scar
Now I'm not necessarily so inclined to doing work on Sundays, and the other day was no different. I'd just left home following a superb dinner made by the missus, and I was on my way to help a fellow who had filled the incorrect petrol in his Pickwood Scar. He was located nearby so I arrived with him soon. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the car and got out he told me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on other considerations and didn't realise I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on any damage through starting it?" I explained that generally there shouldn't be any damage and that also I would personally get the fuel drained at once for him. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and so another happy motorist was able to continue his ride without bother. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what makes operating on weekends that tiny bit better for me personally!
