This was what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly 2:30am and noone was about. It had become rather uneventful until now, and me and John were loafing around reading through a couple of old magazines. That was an uncommon quiet time. It was in fact so quiet that the moment my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The customer on the phone stated: "I have just finished my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my Calder Grove". We told him to let us know where he was and we left, reaching him no more than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the car and he thanked us for showing up so quickly. As we were going back home we found two young women on the side of the road who looked like they suffered a flat. Obviously we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

Wrong Fuel in Car Calder Grove - Petrol in Diesel Car Calder Grove
I'd had a fantastic day fishing on my off day and felt satisfied with myself the next day as I headed out to aid a young family holidaying. They'd pulled over after filling petrol in their Calder Grove, and the car was close to an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the girl berating her man for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you actually find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this occurs frequently and that it's in reality nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he still got an ear bashing by his better half. Poor chap. At any rate, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved so long and considered what my wife would tell me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I would personally never live it down!
