This was the night shift. It was around 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It had been fairly quiet up to now, and me and Mark were sitting looking at several old magazines. That was an unusual peaceful time. It was indeed that relaxing that the moment the phone ultimately rang it made me start! The voice on the opposite end said: "I have completed my evening shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in my diesel Grange Moor". I got him to let us know where exactly he was and we left, getting to him no more than an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He said many thanks for coming so rapidly. While we were going back to base we noticed two young women at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.
