Wrong Fuel in Car Sissinghurst - Petrol in Diesel Car Sissinghurst

This really was what is called the night shift. It was about sunrise and nobody was about. It had become quite dead thus far, and Paul and I were sitting about looking at a number of old magazines. It was an unusual calm time. Actually it was in fact so peaceful that the instant my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The customer stated: "I've completed my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in the Sissinghurst by mistake". I got him to tell us exactly where he was located and we headed out, ending up only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the motor and he thanked us for coming so promptly. As we were returning home we noticed two women at the side of the road who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we got out to change it, much to their delight.
