It was close to 9 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's sports rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we had a call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Mortlake and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen rental. The unfortunate thing was quite affected apparently, saying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure spot and, since it was only a few miles from us, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was living in.
