Wrong Fuel in Car Adwalton - Petrol in Diesel Car Adwalton
A gentleman called us from his house on a close. He pronounced, "My car (a Adwalton) is not starting and is generating terrible sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would fix the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He told us that he'd be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.

Wrong Fuel in Car Adwalton - Petrol in Diesel Car Adwalton
It was after eight pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's sports, at the ready for the sixth job of the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling garage and filled petrol in a diesel Adwalton rental in error. She was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach her right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain done well in my opinion!
