Wrong Fuel in Car Crigglestone - Petrol in Diesel Car Crigglestone

Now I am not necessarily excessively interested in doing work on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just departed home after eating a fantastic Sunday roast cooked by the better half, and I was on my way to help a gentleman after he filled the wrong fuel in his Crigglestone. He was stationed nearby and so I was on scene before long. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank God! I had my attention on stuff and failed to perceive I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted some harm simply by starting it?" I revealed that truth be told there probably should not be any damage and that also I would personally remove the fuel at once for him. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and then one more contented motorist had the ability to carry on with their journey without any subsequent fuss. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this helps make operating on Sundays that little bit better to me!

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
