Wrong Fuel in Car Swinnow Moor - Petrol in Diesel Car Swinnow Moor

She informed us that she had left the filling station and broken down along a rural road en route to see her godchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and was with her within an hour or so. I arrived at the location and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing it she said to me, "I have been becoming quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a few days back after my former one, which I had owned for over 30 years, finally died". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. What a lovely woman!
