Wrong Fuel in Car Shelley Woodhouse - Petrol in Diesel Car Shelley Woodhouse
Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a warm Tuesday and we were off to assist an older sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel Shelley Woodhouse. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a backwater lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour. I reached the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she told me, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel as I had just acquired it a week back when my old car, which I'd owned for over thirty years, eventually died on me". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely woman!

It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and me were sitting there commenting on the weekend's footy, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage and put petrol in a diesel Shelley Woodhouse rental car by mistake. She was fairly troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure area and, since it was only a short distance from the office, we could get to her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away calm and not so worried. Yet another fuel drain well done in my mind!
