It was before eight pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were seated there discussing the weekend's football rankings, waiting around for the next job that day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Dockenfield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel wife's Audi Q7 lease car by mistake. She was very troubled apparently, saying "I can not believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and less concerned. A job in Surrey well done in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Dockenfield

I'm not actually excessively interested in doing the job on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd just left the family filled with a tasty dinner cooked for me by the missus, and I was on my way to sort out a man after he had put the wrong petrol in his trusty VW Eurovan. He was somewhere in Dockenfield so I arrived on scene almost immediately. Just as I drove up behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my concentration on other stuff and did not ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about any kind of damage through starting it?" I explained generally there probably should not be any problems and also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained right away for him. As expected I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and so another satisfied customer had the ability to continue their traveling without any subsequent bother. The gentleman could not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what helps make operating on Sundays in Surrey that little bit better for me personally!
