I had enjoyed a wonderful day fishing during my day off and felt delighted the next working day as I was on the way to assist a new couple on vacation. They'd pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their Mill Shaw, and were about half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the lady telling off her man for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this takes place regularly and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, nevertheless he still had an earful. Poor boy. Anyway, I drained the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching as they drove off I shouted farewell and wondered what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
