Brian and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's sports results, ready for the seventh job to come in. Finally we got a call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Lowdham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel burgundy red Mercedes Sprinter 2500 hire car. The poor thing was very affected by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things often happen. She managed to get the car into a protected position and, since it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could reach the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Nottinghamshire well done in my mind!
