A few stories:
Wrong Fuel in Car Hubberton Green - Petrol in Diesel Car Hubberton Green
This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly 2:30am and almost noone was stirring. It was quite quiet thus far, and Ray and I were loafing browsing several old magazines. It was an uncommon restful hour. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me start! The person on the other end said: "I've just concluded my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in my diesel Hubberton Green". I instructed him to let us know where the car was situated and we headed out, reaching him not as much as an hour later. The fuel was removed from the engine and he said thanks a lot for coming so rapidly. As we were coming back to the depot we found two girls at the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. So we got out to change it, much to their delight.

She was able to get the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to get to the lady quickly.
