Wrong Fuel Doctor Roehampton - Roehampton Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a fantastic evening cycling during my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I was on the way to assist a young family on holiday in Roehampton. They stopped after inserting petrol in their Smart, and were around half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I heard to the woman telling her spouse off for being so foolish. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this situation happens continuously in Wandsworth and that it's really absolutely nothing to be anxious about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky guy. Anyhow, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the right fuel. As they drove away I waved good bye and wondered what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
