Documented Procedure, Not Workshop Habit
Misfuel remediation follows Policies §19.2 — a ten-step sequence:
- Accept via portal (OEM Spec + EEK Procedure Standard (EPS) + Supplier Terms)
- Arrange collection / tow per OEM and EEK rules
- Workshop intake — customer not on site during work
- Assess contamination and engine-start status; record in portal
- Extract fuel via OEM-approved access — never pump/probe/siphon through filler
- Clean and inspect lines, filters, pump
- Reinstall to OEM torque and seal standards
- Fresh fuel flush and function test
- Licensed disposal with dockets retained seven years
- Invoice in portal; release only after EEK confirms payment
§19.3–19.5 define parallel procedures for water-in-oil, pre-export drain, and vessel work.
