Wrong Fuel in Car Warley Town - Petrol in Diesel Car Warley Town
It was around seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, at the ready for the 8th call to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Warley Town rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things do happen. She was able to move the car into a secure spot and, because it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to find the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction well done in my mind!
