Wrong Fuel in Car Lower Wyke - Petrol in Diesel Car Lower Wyke
A driver with a full car of youngsters in her diesel Lower Wyke had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the Sainsburys service station. She contacted us crying and really distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and didn't know what could happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that everything should be okay and that she would be back on the road in no time at all. When we got there she was visible distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the youngsters in the back."

Wrong Fuel in Car Lower Wyke - Petrol in Diesel Car Lower Wyke
It was around 5 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting going over the golf rankings, ready for the sixth job of the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lower Wyke lease car. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things can happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less worried. One more misfuel correction well done in my books!
