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!)
