Wrong Fuel in Car Slaithwaite - Petrol in Diesel Car Slaithwaite
This was most definitely what we call the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and nobody was stirring. It was fairly uneventful so far, and me and Brian were relaxing looking at some old papers. This was an unusual restful moment. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that when the telephone rang it made me start! The customer on the phone stated: "I've only just ended my overnight shift and incredibly put petrol in my diesel Slaithwaite". We got him to tell us where the vehicle was located and we headed out, getting to him under an hour or so later. The fuel was cleared from the motor and he said thanks for coming out so quickly. As we were coming back home we saw two young women on the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped to help them change it, to their elation.
Wrong Fuel Doctor Slaithwaite - Fuel Rescue Slaithwaite
It was about five pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing talking over the tennis, at the ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station and filled petrol in her diesel Slaithwaite hire car. The poor lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe position and, since it was just a few miles from us, we were able to find the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and less worried. A fuel drain done well in my opinion!
