What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a warm Monday and we were off to help an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Thick Hollins. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down along a rural lane on the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged her location into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing it she explained, "I am becoming rather forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel since I'd just bought it a couple of days back after my previous one, which I'd had for over 30 years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job completed and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a lovely lady!

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
