How not to avoid motorway tolls between Calais and South of Macon.

Date is only approximate - some summer before 2000?

Take on diesel car, fill up with diesel at Calais.  Get on motorway and head south.  When you get approximately between Macon and Lyon, think about filling up again.  Pull over to a service station for fuel.  After a few moments realise why the fuel is a little more expensive that you first thought - you have put some petrol into you diesel car.

Ring Red Pennant.  Tow truck comes and tries to tow car and caravan off the pump TOGETHER by using a very substantial heavy chain.  I am a little too cautious when stearing my car, without air-assisted breaking and accidentally press to hard on the break pedal.  Lovely big heavy chain breaks, much to the amazement of the tow truck driver.  (LOL)  They leave caravan, wife and family standing on the forecourt of a service station and load your car (accompanied by you) onto truck and off the motorway to have the fuel tank cleaned out.  Job done - this time fill up with diesel.  Go back onto motorway, getting a new toll ticket.  Pick up caravan, wife and family and continue with journey.  Eventually, come to get off motorway.  USE NEW TOLL TICKET FROM MACON NOT OLD ONE FROM CALAIS..........  LOL.

Job done?????
