Wrong Fuel in Car Clayton West - Petrol in Diesel Car Clayton West

I had appreciated a wonderful day fishing on my holiday and felt cheerful the following working day as I headed out to help a new family on vacation. They'd broken down after putting diesel into their Clayton West, and they were roughly an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the lady telling her man off for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this problem comes to pass frequently and that it's nothing to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything had an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. In any case, I drained all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
