It was about eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were seated there going over the sports results, at the ready for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Kincardine and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen rental in error. The unfortunate lady was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately do happen.

Petrol in Diesel Kincardine - Kincardine Fuel Drain

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon fishing during my holiday and felt contented the following morning as I set off to help a young family who were on holiday in Kincardine. They'd broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their Kia, and the car was approximately an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on on daily basis in Fife and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he yet still had an earful. Poor boy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted so long and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
