A young lady with a full car of children in her diesel Nash had put £40 of petrol at the Shell station. She contacted us crying and very upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and did not know what would happen to her car because of it. We told her that the car would be ok and that she would be on the road in no time at all. When we arrived she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the youngsters in the back."
