Wrong Fuel in Car Brooklands - Petrol in Diesel Car Brooklands
It was just after 7 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting there talking about the tennis, ready for the next telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station and filled petrol in a diesel Brooklands rental car in error. She was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from us, we could find the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another fuel drain well done in my opinion!
