Wrong Fuel in Car Quarmby - Petrol in Diesel Car Quarmby

This was what we call the graveyard shift. It was around 2am and noone was about. It had become fairly uneventful so far, and me and Ray were relaxing reading through a couple of old articles. That was an uncommon quiet moment. It was that quiet that when my mobile inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the opposite end said: "I have concluded my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my Quarmby". I instructed him to inform us just where he was located and we hit the road, reaching him no more than an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the motor and he thanked us for coming out so fast. As we were coming back home we found two women on the edge of the street who appeared to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled over to help them change it, to their elation.

The person on the phone stated: "I've just finished my night shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel Quarmby". I instructed him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was and we left, arriving half an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for arriving so fast.
