It was just before 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were sitting there commenting on the footy, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Basingstoke and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi rental. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more job in Hampshire done well in my opinion!
