To our surprise we were delivered a top…

To our surprise we were delivered a top up we didn’t need (certainly at current prices) but this was probably because the tankscout reading was zero.It was zero because the old tankscout has been removed and we are waiting for a replacement to be delivered. We have been waiting for the replacement since mid September. Right hand and left hand…I’m afraid.
