• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

It was about five pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated there going over the weekend's golf, prepared for the seventh telephone call to come in. Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Elham lease car. She was very distressed apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. One more job well done in my mind!
