It was after 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting discussing the recent tennis, ready for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Handside and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things sadly happen.

Wrong Fuel Handside - Handside Petrol in Diesel

I had a great day fishing on my afternoon off and felt contented with myself the following day as I set out to assist a young family who were away in Handside. They pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their Honda, and the car was around half an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed while I listened to the lady chastising her man for being so silly. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this problem takes place on a regular basis in Hertfordshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he yet still had an ear bashing. Poor boy. In any case, I extracted all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed farewell and considered what my wife would ask me if I made the same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was about 3:30 in the morning and noone was about. It was quite dead thus far, and me and Paul were loafing about looking at several old articles. It was a rare calm hour in Hertfordshire. Actually it was so quiet that the moment the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The customer on the phone told me: "I've only just ended my night shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MG in error". I got him to inform us where exactly he was situated and we set off, arriving in Handside less than 30 minutes later. The fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He thanked us for arriving so rapidly. While we were coming back home we saw two women on the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. As a result we got out to change it, much to their elation.
