It was around 7 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing talking over the rugby results, waiting around for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Chilham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi lease car in error. The poor thing was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe space and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and much less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Kent well done in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Chilham - Chilham Wrong Fuel

I had a fantastic evening hiking during my day off and felt satisfied with myself the following day as I set out to assist a new family who were away in Chilham. They'd broken down after filling diesel into their Skoda, and they were close to an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and laughed while I heard to the woman chastising her hubby for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you even be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this problem happens constantly in Kent and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, even so he in spite of everything got an earful. Unlucky lad. In any case, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed goodbye and wondered what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
