Mystery fuel

Rifiat was due to complete a Texaco assignment that required a fuel purchase to the value of £10.00. On the day of the assignment she had been running late, and was subsequently trying to catch up all day.

Rifiat rushed to the outlet to complete the assignment before a meeting. She had taken her husband's car on the day of the evaluation, and in her haste, filled it with petrol rather than diesel. She paid for the fuel before realizing what she had done. She started the engine (trying to avoid attracting attention to herself), but the car started to bellow smoke, and eventually conked out. The car had to be towed from the service station whilst Rifiat waited in the rain!

It cost her more than £150.00 to have the tank cleaned, and £100.00 to get the car towed to the nearest garage (Ed - Not the best value evaluation ever!). Rifiat can see the funny side of it now, but at the time admits it was awfully embarrassing.

We guess it could've been put down to a silly mistake if Rifiat hadn't done exactly the same thing a couple of weeks later. However, she's glad to report that she is still happily married....just!

(Ed - Perhaps this XE should stick to the McDonald's evaluations!)
