Wrong Fuel in Car South Elmsall - Petrol in Diesel Car South Elmsall
What a great night of sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Sunday and we were off to assist an elder lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel South Elmsall. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and stranded along a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I turned up at the location and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel because I had only just purchased it a week back when my old car, which I'd used for about 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious lady!
