Wrong Fuel Church Stowe - Church Stowe Fuel Rescue

I enjoyed a terrific afternoon golfing on my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next working day as I headed out to assist a new family who were on holiday in Church Stowe. They pulled over after inserting diesel in their MINI, and the car was approximately an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the lady telling her husband off for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this occurs on a regular basis in Northamptonshire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove off I shouted good-bye and wondered what my missus would do to me if I made the very same error... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
