A work van at the servo, about 12 litres of unleaded in before the customer twigged mid fill, moved it off the pump and rang us from the forecourt.
Caught at 12 litres. The earlier you stop pumping, the smaller the job.
Caught early is the best version of this job. Out at Hallett Cove the same arvo, drained the tank where it stood, and the customer sorted their own fresh fuel.
Away by half past three, job done on the spot.

Ten years of stale fuel cleaned out of a 1971 Chrysler Valiant Regal at Woodville West, before it went to a workshop to be brought back to the road. Tank drained in the owner's shed.
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.
Don't start the engine. Call, we come to you, anywhere in Adelaide.
