Wrong Fuel in Car Chickenley - Petrol in Diesel Car Chickenley
This really was what we call the night shift. It was around 2:30 in the morning and almost noone was about. It had been pretty dead up to now, and Ray and I were loafing around looking through a couple of old papers. It was an uncommon quiet time. Actually it was in fact so relaxing that the instant the telephone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The voice on the opposite end said: "I concluded my overnight shift and incredibly put petrol in my diesel Chickenley in error". I instructed him to inform us where exactly the car was located and we hit the road, arriving not as much as an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He said many thanks for coming so quickly. As we were heading back home we found two girls on the side of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. So we got out to change it, to their elation.
