Funny Story
He also mentions that he and his brother were travelling in the SUV for the first time. They went to the petrol pump to get the tank filled. However, they completely forgot that the Safari was a diesel car and ended up getting the tank filled with petrol instead. As they started to move out of the petrol pump, the vehicle started behaving unusually. That’s when they realised the exact reason for that. They had to call a mechanic to get the petrol drained from the fuel tank of the SUV. It is rather common for people to fill petrol in a diesel car, especially when they have bought it for the first time.
