It was just before 6 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were sitting talking about the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Gillingham and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan rental car. She was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to move the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few miles from our van, we could find the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and not so worried. Yet another job in Norfolk done well in my mind!
