Wrong Fuel in Car Micklethwaite - Petrol in Diesel Car Micklethwaite
I had a fantastic afternoon golfing on my day off and felt cheerful the next day as I set out to help a new couple who were away. They had stopped after adding diesel into their Micklethwaite, and they were roughly an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the gal chastising her husband for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this problem occurs frequently and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I drained out the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove away I shouted good bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never ever live it down!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Micklethwaite - Fuel Rescue Micklethwaite
We fairly recently received a call from a guy who put the wrong fuel in his Micklethwaite. He had come to a stand-still on the road. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't discover the problem till the time I stopped working. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and had it functioning again. I was impressed with both how quick you were and your pricing". Needless to say we were on-scene rapidly and flushed the engine after draining the petrol from the diesel tank. The client was pleased as punch by the time we finished and he went away completely happy.
