It was before 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were sitting going over the recent sports rankings, waiting for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Merriott and filled petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental car in error. She was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things sadly happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to get to her right away. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and a lot less worried. One more misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my opinion!
