It was close to five pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting there talking about the tennis, ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Bawtry lease car by mistake. She was pretty irritated it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things sadly happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected area and, because it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could go home to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and less stressed. Yet another fuel drain done well in my books!

She told us that she had left the petrol station and pulled up in a rural road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and was with her inside 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I am becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I'd only just acquired it a few days back right after my former one, which I'd had for more than twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a precious lady!
