Wrong Fuel in Car Whitecote - Petrol in Diesel Car Whitecote

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Sunday and we were on the way to help an old lovely lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Whitecote. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station and was pulled up on a rural road on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and got there within 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was working she told me, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel since I'd only acquired it a week back right after my former one, which I'd used for over 25 years, inevitably broke down". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. What a precious woman!

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
