Wrong Fuel in Car West Morton - Petrol in Diesel Car West Morton

Just had a quality night of sleep! 7:00 on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and we were off to assist an older lovely lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel West Morton. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station and was pulled up on a backwater lane along the way to see her family. I punched the location straight into the TomTom and arrived within an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel since I'd just bought it a week ago after my old car, which I'd used for in excess of 30 years, inevitably died". I got the job completed and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant lady!
