It was about ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's golf results, at the ready for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Greenhalgh and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen hire car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. Another job in Lancashire well done in my books!
