Mitsubishi Triton, driven on 60 litres of petrol before the call.
The customer is driving along and the Triton starts to feel sluggish. That is when it clicks, wrong fuel at the last servo. The customer did the right thing, pulled over and gave us a call.
Not sure if it is safe to drive? Pull over and ring. Whatever the question, we will answer it.
There were questions. Is it okay to drive? How bad is it? We talked the customer through the difference between the two fuels, what extra driving does to a diesel system, and what our process is. No rush, no pressure, no question left unanswered.
Job quoted, booked, and done on site where the ute sat. Sixty litres of contaminated fuel out, flushed, fresh diesel in, started and ran clean. Back to work before lunch.

Ford Transit, Parafield Gardens
Two litres of AdBlue in the diesel tank of a Ford Transit at Parafield Gardens. Never started, but the ignition had been turned on, so we treated it as contaminated past the tank. Drained and flushed on the kerb.
