Wrong Fuel in Car Flockton - Petrol in Diesel Car Flockton
Now I am not ever that keen on running on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just left the wife and kids after a magnificent roast made by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a fellow because he put the incorrect fuel in his Flockton. He was only nearby thus I arrived there very quickly. Just as I pulled up behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on other stuff and failed to realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I caused harm through running it?" I revealed that there should not be problems and that also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained as soon as possible. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and thus another happy motorist could carry on with his ride without the difficulty. He could not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what makes operating on weekends just that little bit better to me!
