Wrong Fuel in Car Leeming - Petrol in Diesel Car Leeming
What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Sunday and I was on the way to help an elder lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Leeming. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded in a rural road on route to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I reached the car and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she said, "I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel because I had only acquired it a short while ago when my old car, which I'd owned for in excess of twenty years, eventually died on me". I got the job done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a lovely lady!

I'm certainly not overly interested in working on Sundays, and last week was no different. I had only just left the wife and kids after a fantastic Sunday roast made for me by the missus, and I was off to sort out a gentleman who filled the incorrect petrol in his Leeming. He was stationed nearby so I was there soon. Just as I pulled up behind the car and stepped out he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on something else and did not ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted some damage simply by driving it?" I said generally there should not be problems and that also I would remove the wrong fuel right away. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and so another pleased client had the ability to carry on with his traveling without hassle. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is exactly what helps make earning a living on Sundays just that tiny bit easier to me!
