Mitsubishi Triton, 35 litres of unleaded in the diesel tank.
A diesel Triton at Port Adelaide with 35 litres of unleaded in the tank, and the customer made the right call, engine off, keys down, phone out.
Engine off, keys down, phone out. The cheapest thing you can do with the wrong fuel in the tank.
The filler neck had an anti siphon guard in it, which blocks the usual drain path. No drama. We took the fuel out through the line at the front of the engine instead. Different door in, same result.
Drained, flushed and done inside the hour, with the customer organising their own fresh diesel. Job done on the spot, invoice emailed before we left.

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.
