She told us that she had driven away from the filling station and was pulled up on a country road along the way to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and arrived within an hour. I arrived at the car and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel since I'd only purchased it a few days back when my other car, which I'd had for in excess of thirty years, finally broke down". I completed the drain and she gifted me a toffee and said thank you. Such a delightful lady!

It was about 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Brian and me were relaxing there discussing the recent golf, prepared for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station and put petrol in a diesel Southowram rental by mistake. The poor lady was quite irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, because it was just a few miles from our van, we could reach the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and not so stressed. A misfuel correction done well in my opinion!
