It was just after 9 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! James and me were seated there talking over the rugby, waiting around for the 6th job that day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage and filled petrol in her diesel Millhouse Green hire car in error. The poor lady was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this happen. She managed to move the car into a protected area and, as it was just a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and less anxious. Yet another fuel drain well done in my books!
