It was close to seven pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing commenting on the recent golf results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Thinford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford rental car. She was quite irritated apparently, crying "I can not believe I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!"

Petrol in Diesel Thinford - Thinford Fuel Removal

I had a great afternoon cycling during the weekend and felt delighted with myself the following morning as I was en route to help a new family on holiday in Thinford. They had pulled over after filling petrol into their Vauxhall, and they were around half an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled while I listened to the wife telling her man off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this situation occurs regularly in County Durham and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, however he all the same had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the chap. In any case, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I waved goodbye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
