A few stories:
Wrong Fuel in Car Marsh - Petrol in Diesel Car Marsh
It was about five pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were seated there talking about the golf rankings, waiting for the 6th job to arrive. In due time we got the call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling station and put petrol in a diesel Marsh rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat troubled apparently, crying "I can not believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could find the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain well done in my books!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Marsh - Fuel Rescue Marsh
A driver with her kids in her diesel Marsh had filled her vehicle with £50 of petrol at the Shell station. She called us weeping and very worried as she had never wrong fueled before and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle . We reassured her that all would be ok and that she would be back on the road in no time at all. When we got there she was visible distressed but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the little ones on board."
