Wrong Fuel in Car Broad Carr - Petrol in Diesel Car Broad Carr
I had a great day fishing on my holiday and felt delighted the next working day as I was on the way to aid a new couple on holiday. They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel into their Broad Carr, and they were roughly half an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for being so daft. "Precisely how could you even be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this occurs everyday and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, but he yet still had his ear bent. Poor boy. At any rate, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the same error... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
