Reports from our own New Town team:
Wrong Fuel in Car New Town - Petrol in Diesel Car New Town
It was just before 9 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were seated commenting on the tennis rankings, at the ready for the 8th job for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage and put the wrong fuel in a diesel New Town rental in error. The unfortunate thing was very agitated apparently, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this can happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe spot and, as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could find the woman right away. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and less worried. One more misfuel correction done well in my opinion!
