Wrong Fuel in Car Ratling - Petrol in Diesel Car Ratling

Now I am not actually so excited about running on Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had just departed the wife and kids filled with a magnificent roast prepared for us by the better half, and I was en route to deal with a fellow who filled the incorrect petrol in his Ratling. He was located nearby so it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. As I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I had my thoughts on something else and did not realise I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I inflicted any kind of problems simply by driving it?" I determined there probably should not be damage and also that I would drain the contaminated fuel immediately. Naturally I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and thus one more happy motorist had the ability to carry on with their ride without any subsequent difficulty. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what helps make operating on weekends that tiny bit better in my opinion!

This really was what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had been fairly uneventful until now, and Ryan and I were loafing around reading some old papers. It was a rare quiet time. It was so relaxing that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The person on the other end explained: "I've only just completed my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my Ratling by mistake". We asked him to tell us where the vehicle was and we set off, arriving under half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for coming out so fast. As we were heading back home we saw two young women at the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat. As a result we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.
