I popped the location into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car.

I got the drain completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious lady!

I finished the job and she offered me a toffee and said thanks. What a delightful lady!

It was close to ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's golf rankings, at the ready for the sixth job to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Upperthong rental car. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could get to her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and not so anxious. One more job done well in my opinion!
