Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Sunday and I was on my way to assist an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Farnley. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a rural road along the way to see her godchildren. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I reached the location and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm getting fairly forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd only just got it several days ago when my other car, which I had owned for more than twenty years, finally stopped working". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely woman!
