The person on the phone said: "I've only just finished my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in a diesel Sheepridge in error". We instructed him to let us know where he was situated and we left, ending up not as much as 30 minutes later. The fuel was taken out from the motor and he thanked us for showing up so quickly. As we were returning home we saw two women at the side of the road who looked like they had a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their elation.

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a warm Tuesday and I was on my way to help an elder lady who put petrol in her diesel Sheepridge. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped her location in the TomTom and arrived within an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I had only just purchased it a few days ago right after my former one, which I had used for more than 25 years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain completed and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely woman!
