Wrong Fuel in Car Durkar - Petrol in Diesel Car Durkar
What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a warm Saturday and I was off to help an elder sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel Durkar. I had been advised she had left the filling station and was stranded in a country road en route to see her family. I popped the location into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I reached the destination and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car using diesel seeing that I'd only just purchased it several days back right after my previous car, which I had used for in excess of 25 years, finally stopped working". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. What a delightful lady!
