Wrong Fuel in Car Hawthorn Corner - Petrol in Diesel Car Hawthorn Corner

It was after five pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing there talking over the recent rugby, waiting for the sixth call that day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage and put petrol in a diesel Hawthorn Corner lease car in error. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to get the car into a secure spot and, as it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could find the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less worried. One more misfuel correction well done in my opinion!

I had a great evening golfing during my off day and felt satisfied the following morning as I headed out to help a young couple who were on holiday. They conked out after filling diesel in their Hawthorn Corner, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed while I heard to the woman telling her partner off for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this problem takes place all the time and that it is nothing at all to stress about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. In any case, I removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. As they drove away I shouted goodbye and thought about what my wife would do to me if I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
