Wrong Fuel Assist Hartwood - Wrong Fuel in Car Hartwood

I enjoyed a terrific evening fishing during my off day and felt cheerful the following day as I headed out to help a young family who were away in Hartwood. They had pulled over after putting petrol into their new-shape Mazda Navajo, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smirked as I heard to the wife chastising her partner for being so silly. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this problem comes to pass all the time in Lancashire and that it's nothing at all to stress about, nevertheless he still had an ear bashing by his wife. Poor chap. In any case, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. As they drove off I shouted good-bye and pondered on what my missus would tell me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!
