Melbourne Roadside & Wrong Fuel Rescue

FAQs ❗❗❗

Exactly what does your wrong fuel drainage process involve?
We don't just empty your car's fuel tank. Our mobile wrong fuel technicians perform a complete system detox. We drain the wrong fuel, flush the lines, clear and clean the engine rail, and detox the entire fuel system. Finally, we provide you with enough of the correct fuel (usually up to 10 litres) to get you safely to the nearest service station so you can continue your day.

Do you provide emergency fuel rescue for commercial fleet vehicles?
Yes. Putting the wrong fuel in a company car or delivery van is incredibly common, especially when employees switch between their personal petrol cars and diesel work vehicles. We offer rapid commercial fleet wrong fuel drainage across Melbourne and Greater Geelong to minimise expensive business downtime and protect your company vehicles from permanent mechanical damage.

I put a tiny amount of unleaded petrol in my diesel car, do I just ignore it?
No, even a very small amount of unleaded in a diesel tank can be catastrophic. Diesel acts as a heavy lubricant for your high-pressure fuel pump, whereas petrol acts as a stripping solvent. Ignoring it will cause metal-on-metal friction, sending metal shavings throughout your engine. The only safe option is a professional fuel system flush before turning the key.

FAQs!!!

Do I need a membership to use your wrong fuel drain service?
Unlike major roadside breakdown clubs, we do not require any subscription or annual joining fees. You only pay for the wrong fuel drainage service you actually need. We provide transparent, upfront pricing over the phone, meaning there are no hidden costs when you need an emergency roadside rescue in Melbourne.

Is it safe to drain the fuel tank while stuck at a petrol station?
Absolutely. Our mobile response vans are custom-built with ATEX-certified, spark-proof pumping systems. Whether you are stuck right at the bowser or pulled over on the side of a busy Melbourne freeway, our fuel tank drain procedure is completely safe, fully insured, and strictly managed so that no fuel ever hits the pavement.

I realised I misfuelled after leaving the servo. Should I drive back?
No! The moment you realise you have the wrong fuel, pull over safely and turn off the engine immediately. Do not attempt to drive back to the service station. Driving forces the contaminated fuel deeper into your high-pressure fuel pump and injectors. Leave the car off and call our emergency fuel removal Melbourne team to come directly to your exact location.

FAQs!!!

*Can you still help if I’ve already started the engine after I put wrong fuel in my car?

Yes, we can. While running the engine, there circulates the contaminated fuel, you should pull over and turn the engine off immediately. Our wrong fuel specialists are equipped to perform a comprehensive fuel extraction and a fuel system flush to minimise the risk of any damage.

*How fast can your wrong fuel rescue team arrive in Melbourne?

Because misfuelling is an urgent situation, we dispatch our closest mobile wrong fuel removal unit immediately. We cover all of Melbourne and Greater Geelong. We strive to reach you as quickly as possible to get you back on the road safely, typically in 60 minutes "pending traffic".

*Does it ruin my engine permanently if I put petrol in a diesel car?

Putting petrol in a diesel car reduces the lubrication that diesel engines rely on, which can cause friction and damage to the fuel pump and injectors. However, if you act quickly, avoid starting the engine, and have a professional extract the wrong fuel from the fuel tank, your car will very likely survive with no permanent damage.
