A relatively concerned driver called us from the BP filling station to tell us that he had put unleaded in his diesel Cambridge; he wasn't really certain how he'd managed to do it. We explained to him it was no hassle and rapidly had our fuel drainer with him to clean the wrong fuel from his vehicle. Having extracted the incorrect fuel, he was soon enough back driving.
