Wrong Fuel in Car Black Moor - Petrol in Diesel Car Black Moor
Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a warm Tuesday and we were en route to help an older lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Black Moor. I'd been informed she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a rural lane en route to see her grandchildren. I punched the location into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I am becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel because I had only purchased it a couple of days back right after my former car, which I'd owned for about twenty years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she gifted me a toffee and said thank you. Such a precious lady!
