It was before eight pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were resting talking over the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Longwood Edge rental car in error. She was rather agitated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could find the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and much less concerned. A fuel drain well done in my books!
