Wrong Fuel in Car Whitley Head - Petrol in Diesel Car Whitley Head
What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Wednesday and I was en route to assist an elder woman who had put petrol in her diesel Whitley Head. She told us that she had left the filling station and broken down in a backwater lane on the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and was with her within 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was working she said, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I had just got it a short while ago when my old car, which I had had for about twenty years, finally died on me". I finished the job and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a precious lady!

It was before six pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were sitting discussing the tennis rankings, waiting for the seventh call to come in. Eventually we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Whitley Head lease car by mistake. She was rather agitated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, as it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and much less concerned. A job well done in my opinion!
