They'd stopped after adding diesel in their Lower Hopton, and they were close to an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you possibly find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this occurs everyday and that it's nothing to stress about, nevertheless he still got an ear bashing by his wife. Poor chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted so long and considered what her indoors would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
