Wrong Fuel in Car Hopetown - Petrol in Diesel Car Hopetown

It was around eight pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage and put petrol in a diesel Hopetown rental car. She was fairly affected it seemed, crying "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction well done in my mind!
