Wrong Fuel in Car Fenay Bridge - Petrol in Diesel Car Fenay Bridge
It was just before 7 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Paul and me were seated there discussing the sports results, waiting for the next job that day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station and filled petrol in her diesel Fenay Bridge rental by mistake. The poor thing was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure space and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. A misfuel correction well done in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Fenay Bridge - Fuel Rescue Fenay Bridge
I'd had a wonderful day fishing during my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I headed out to help a young family on holiday. They'd conked out after filling diesel into their Fenay Bridge, and were approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the wife berating her husband for turning out to be so silly. "How could you even find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this problem occurs all the time and that it is nothing to be concerned about, however he still had his ear bent by his better half. Poor chap. At any rate, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would tell me if perhaps I made the same error... I'd personally never ever live it down!

A customer with a full car of kids in her diesel Fenay Bridge had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the service station. She contacted us weeping and really worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the car should be okay and that she would be up and running soon. When we got there she was visible upset but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the youngsters in the back."
