It was around 8 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were sitting there discussing the recent footy results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Ilford and put petrol in a diesel Jaguar lease car in error. She was very troubled it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected space and, since it was only a few minutes away from the office, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the Travelodge she was living at.
