It was close to six pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were seated going over the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Maryport and put the wrong fuel in a diesel baby blue Peugeot 309 hire car. The poor lady was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected area and, because it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to find the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and not so concerned. Another job in Cumbria well done in my books!
