Wrong Fuel in Car Boothtown - Petrol in Diesel Car Boothtown

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a warm Saturday and we were off to assist an old woman who put petrol in her diesel Boothtown. I'd been advised she drove away from the petrol station and stranded on a rural lane on route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and got there in less than 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel seeing that I had just purchased it several days back when my old one, which I used for more than twenty years, finally broke down". I completed the drain and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a lovely lady!
