I'd had a terrific afternoon fishing on my off day and was feeling pleased the next working day as I set off to help a new family holidaying. They broken down after filling diesel into their Richborough Port, and the car was roughly half an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smirked as I listened to the lady telling her husband off for being so confused. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this problem takes place frequently and that it's really nothing at all to be concerned about, nevertheless he still got an ear bashing. Poor lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed farewell and wondered what my wife would tell me in the event that I made the same blunder... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
