Wrong Fuel in Car South Kirkby - Petrol in Diesel Car South Kirkby
I am not ever so interested in working on weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd only just departed home after having a lovely Sunday roast made for us by the wife, and I was on the way to help a guy after he put the incorrect fuel in his South Kirkby. He was situated nearby and so I was on scene quickly. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and got out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my attention on other considerations and failed to realise I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused any damage by simply starting it?" I stated that generally there probably should not be problems and that I'd get the contaminated fuel drained right away for him. It goes without saying that I removed the fuel from the car and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and yet another content customer had the ability to continue on his ride with no hassle. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that is exactly what tends to make earning a living on weekends just that tiny bit easier in my opinion!
