Wrong Fuel in Car Goose Green - Petrol in Diesel Car Goose Green

What a great night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Sunday and we were off to help an elder lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Goose Green. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station and pulled up on a rural road en route to see her grandchildren. I got her location punched in the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I had only just purchased it a short while back when my old car, which I'd owned for more than 25 years, inevitably died on me". I completed the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a precious lady!
