It was close to 9 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were relaxing discussing the golf rankings, waiting for the 8th job for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Duston and filled petrol in her diesel Renault hire car by mistake. The poor thing was rather affected apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was no more than a short distance away from us, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and much less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Northamptonshire well done in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel in Car Duston - Duston Fuel Rescue

I had a perfect evening cycling on my holiday and was feeling pleased the following morning as I set off to assist a new family away in Duston. They stopped after filling the wrong fuel into their Mazda, and the car was roughly half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smirked as I listened to the woman telling off her man for actually being so silly. "How could you conceivably be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass constantly in Northamptonshire and that it's nothing to stress about, nevertheless he yet still had an earful. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed good-bye and thought about what my wife would tell me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I'd never hear the end of it!
