Wrong Fuel in Car Heaton Shay - Petrol in Diesel Car Heaton Shay

I had enjoyed a perfect day hiking on my day off and was feeling delighted with myself the following working day as I set off to aid a young family vacationing. They'd broken down after inserting diesel into their Heaton Shay, and they were approximately an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl telling her man off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this situation happens everyday and that it's really nothing at all to worry about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove away I mouthed good bye and wondered what my missus would tell me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never hear the end of it!
