It was around 8 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were relaxing commenting on the recent tennis rankings, ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station and filled petrol in a diesel Addington rental car. The poor thing was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles from us, we were able to find the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain well done in my opinion!
