Wrong Fuel in Car Hill Park - Petrol in Diesel Car Hill Park

It was after 7 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated there talking over the weekend's rugby, ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hill Park rental car. She was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the motel she was residing at.
