I had a fantastic evening golfing during my day off and was feeling satisfied the following working day as I set off to help a young couple on vacation. They pulled over after filling petrol in their Ainley Top, and they were about an hour away. I arrived at their car and smiled while I heard to the lady telling her partner off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this takes place constantly and that it's nothing at all to fret about, but he still got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would ask me if I made the very same mistake... I would personally never hear the end of it!
