Wrong Fuel Doctor Hastingleigh - Fuel Rescue Hastingleigh

What a quality night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Tuesday and we were on the way to help an older woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel Hastingleigh. I had been advised she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up in a country road on the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I reached the car and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel as I had just got it a couple of days back after my previous car, which I'd had for more than twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a lovely woman!
