It was before 6 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting there commenting on the recent sports results, ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage and put petrol in her diesel Hunslet Carr lease car. She was rather affected apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was just a few minutes from us, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and not so anxious. A fuel drain done well in my books!
