Wrong Fuel in Car Bargoed - Petrol in Diesel Car Bargoed
I am not necessarily that excited about working Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I had only just come away from home filled with a lovely roast prepared for me by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a guy after he put the wrong fuel in his boss' Hyundai Excel. He was located in Bargoed so I was with him very quickly. Just as I arrived behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Praise God! I foolishly had my attention on other things and did not perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I caused damage because of starting it?" I stated that generally there probably should not be problems and also I'd remove the fuel immediately for him. Naturally I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and then yet another satisfied customer could continue his journey with no difficulty. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and this helps make working on Sundays in Caerphilly just a small bit less painful for me personally!
