09Feb 2021: Fuel Contamination

 0600hrs: Topped up diesel fuel tanks this morning, but accidentally put 20 litres of unleaded fuel in the port tank.

0800hrs: Researched the impacts of petrol contamination in diesel fuel and decided to drain the port tank.  Filled all of my Jerry cans with the contaminated fuel and attempted to find a Southport company to dispose of the fuel.
the Southport suggested going to Coomera Boatworks as a place to dump fuel and refuel.

Moral of the story:  don't add fuel when you are half awake and mark your jerry cans clearly.
