    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter

A customer with a full car of little ones in her diesel Lawnswood had put £45 of petrol at the BP petrol station. She phoned us crying and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that everything should be ok and that she would be up and running soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the children on board."
