I am not ever overly keen on doing the job weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just left home after eating a lovely dinner cooked by the missus, and I was on the way to help a fellow because he filled the incorrect petrol in his Winterbourne. He was located nearby hence I was on scene soon. As I drove up right behind the car and got out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my thoughts on something else and didn't grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I caused harm as a result of starting it?" I stated that generally there probably should not be any kind of harm and also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained right away. As expected I removed the fuel from the car and filled up with the suitable fuel, and another happy motorist could carry on with his traveling without any subsequent bother. The gentleman could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make earning a living on Sundays just that small bit better to me!
