A young lady had conked out on a road, having just wrong fueled. She was sobbing and fairly distressed as she had put £45 of petrol in her diesel car. As she phoned us we made an effort to cool her as well as we could, reassuring her that everything would be fine. When we reached her she was not troubled any more and was fascinated in watching our engineer complete the fuel drain on her Eccup.

I'm so pleased that it was so very easily fixable."

Wrong Fuel in Car Eccup - Petrol in Diesel Car Eccup
What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and I was on the way to assist an old lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Eccup. I had been informed she drove away from the petrol station and pulled up in a backwater road along the way to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and arrived within 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing it she said, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel since I had only just acquired it a short while back when my previous one, which I owned for over twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant woman!

It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were seated discussing the sports results, waiting around for the next call that day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage and filled petrol in her diesel Eccup rental car by mistake. The poor thing was very troubled it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. One more fuel drain done well in my mind!
