Wrong Fuel in Car Skelmanthorpe - Petrol in Diesel Car Skelmanthorpe
Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Sunday and we were on the way to assist an old woman who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Skelmanthorpe. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station and stranded in a rural road on the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location punched in the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I got to the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she told me, "I am becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had just bought it a few days back when my previous car, which I had had for about twenty five years, inevitably died on me". I completed the drain and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a lovely lady!

- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
