Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

My first job is to move tallow on-site at a local rendering factory, where I keep an old tanker. However, not all goes to plan, My van will not start. Despite being only six months old the battery appears to be too low so a jump start is needed. I eventually arrive at the factory, complete the job and return to the yard.

I take my 3,000-gallon capacity tanker and 2,000-gallon capacity tanker on a drawbar combination off to a job. Leave the drag at Sourton and proceed solo to Crediton area, where I empty a few septic tanks before returning to Sourton and hitching up the drag. Set off for Bodmin in Cornwall to tip and while en route take the opportunity to fill with fuel at a filling station to do an mpg test.

Later, Sam phones to say he has a fuel leak so send him to local independent Volvo specialist at Exeter. The problem turns out to be a fractured return pipe which is soon fixed.
