Wrong Fuel in Car Halifax - Petrol in Diesel Car Halifax

It truly was what is called the night shift. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was around. It had become fairly uneventful up to now, and me and Brian were sitting about perusing a number of old magazines. It was an unusual quiet time. Actually it was so calm that when the phone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist explained: "I concluded my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel Halifax in error". I told him to tell us just where he was and we left, arriving an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the vehicle. He said thanks a lot for coming so fast. As we were coming back home we saw two young ladies on the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. So we pulled up to change it, to their delight.
