Wrong Fuel in Car Wheatley - Petrol in Diesel Car Wheatley
I had appreciated a perfect afternoon cycling on my off day and was feeling pleased the following day as I set off to help a young family holidaying. They had conked out after adding diesel in their Wheatley, and the car was roughly half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smiled as I listened to the lady telling her partner off for actually being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this takes place on a regular basis and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, however he still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I mouthed good-bye and pondered on what my missus would do to me if I did the same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
