Wrong Fuel in Car Wainstalls - Petrol in Diesel Car Wainstalls
It was around ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting going over the recent rugby, waiting for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we had a call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station and put petrol in a diesel Wainstalls rental car. She was rather distressed apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably happen. She was able to move the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and not so concerned. Yet another misfuel correction well done in my mind!
