This was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 3am and noone was stirring. It was rather uneventful until now, and me and Ryan were loafing about looking through several old papers. That was a rare peaceful time. Actually it was that quiet that the instant my mobile finally rang I leaped! The motorist on the other end stated: "I've concluded my evening shift and foolishly poured petrol in my Overton by mistake". We told him to inform us just where he was situated and we hit the road, getting to him less than an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the motor and he thanked us profusely for showing up so rapidly. While we were returning to base we noticed two ladies on the edge of the street who seemed like they had a puncture. As a result we got out to change it, to their delight.
