Wrong Fuel in Car Claremount - Petrol in Diesel Car Claremount
A motorist employed nearby contacted us after she had managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had put petrol in her diesel Claremount and, like plenty prior to her, believed that she could just fill up her vehicle with diesel and it would run okay. The car was spluttering and then it died when she got to the entrance of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it repaired in an hour or so whilst she was at work. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm very pleased you fixed my vehicle."
Wrong Fuel Doctor Claremount - Fuel Rescue Claremount
It was after 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! James and I were sitting there going over the recent sports results, waiting for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station and filled petrol in a diesel Claremount rental car by mistake. She was fairly affected apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things sadly happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and not so stressed. One more fuel drain done well in my books!
