Wrong Fuel Doctor Holbeck - Fuel Rescue Holbeck
I'd had a perfect evening cycling during the weekend and was feeling contented the following morning as I was en route to help a new family who were away. They had broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their Holbeck, and were around half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and laughed as I heard to the woman telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this goes on on a regular basis and that it's actually nothing to be anxious about, and yet he yet still had an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what my missus would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
