I had appreciated a wonderful day hiking during my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I set off to help a new couple on holiday. They had stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their Appledore, and the car was about an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and laughed as I listened to the wife chastising her man for turning out to be so foolish. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this occurs all the time and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I drained out the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive away I waved farewell and thought about what my wife would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!

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

If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
