Wrong Fuel Doctor Keighley - Fuel Rescue Keighley
This really was an unsociable hour to be up. It was roughly 3:30am and nobody was about. It had been fairly uneventful until now, and me and Mark were relaxing reading through a few old papers. It was an uncommon calm hour. Actually it was indeed that calm that when my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The person told me: "I've concluded my night shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in a Keighley by mistake". I asked him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was located and we left, arriving an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He said thank you for getting there so fast. While we were going back to the office we saw two young women on the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their elation.
