It was before seven pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting going over the football results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage and filled petrol in a diesel Hollingbourne rental car in error. She was quite affected it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and much less anxious. Another fuel drain well done in my mind!
