It was just after 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting going over the recent golf results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Knaresborough and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW hire car in error. The poor thing was fairly distressed it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected area and, because it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in North Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Fuel Rescue Knaresborough - Knaresborough Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a fantastic day cycling during my off day and felt cheerful with myself the following day as I was en route to aid a new couple away in Knaresborough. They had pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their Citroen, and were about an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the gal berating her spouse for being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing takes place everyday in North Yorkshire and that it's nothing at all to worry about, nonetheless he still had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky guy. Anyhow, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching as they drove off I waved goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
