Wrong Fuel in Car Cotton Stones - Petrol in Diesel Car Cotton Stones
It was close to five pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were seated there commenting on the football, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage and put petrol in her diesel Cotton Stones hire car in error. She was fairly affected it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things sadly often happen. She was able to get the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from our van, we could get to the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. Another misfuel correction well done in my opinion!

We a few weeks ago received a phone call from a motorist who had put the incorrect fuel in his Cotton Stones. He had ground to a halt on the street. "I couldn't believe how fast you were in sending a technician out to help me when I erroneously unleaded in my diesel car. Thank you so much". As you can imagine we got there punctually and purged the engine after flushing all of the unleaded from the diesel tank. On arrival our fuel drainer said the motorist was scowling, but was pleased when we finished.
