It was before 5 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring! Mark and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's football, ready for the seventh job of the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage and put petrol in a diesel Deighton rental by mistake. The poor lady was rather agitated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away contented and less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction well done in my opinion!
