I emerged at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the woman chastising her partner for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this situation takes place constantly and that it's nothing to worry about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyway, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel.
