It was around seven pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless night, it had not ceased pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing there discussing the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Stibbington and put petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated apparently, crying "I can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we could arrive at the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

Fuel Drain Stibbington - Stibbington Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a terrific day cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling contented with myself the next morning as I set off to help a new family on vacation in Stibbington. They pulled over after putting petrol into their Hyundai, and they were around an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smiled as I heard to the woman telling her man off for being so silly. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing occurs on a regular basis in Cambridgeshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to be concerned about, even so he in spite of everything got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyway, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and thought about what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
