Wrong Fuel in Car Brookhouse - Petrol in Diesel Car Brookhouse
It truly was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 2:30am and nobody was about. It was quite quiet thus far, and Ryan and I were sitting perusing a few old magazines. That was a rare restful hour. It was that peaceful that the moment the phone ultimately rang I jumped! The customer explained: "I've only just ended my night shift and foolishly poured petrol in my diesel Brookhouse by mistake". We instructed him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was located and we headed out, ending up no more than an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the engine. He said many thanks for getting there so fast. As we were heading back home we spotted two women at the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. So we stopped to help them change it, much to their delight.
