Right Now, Do This — Before Anything Else

1. Turn the engine off if it's running. If it hasn't started yet, you're in the best possible position — real damage is still avoidable.
2. Don't try to "drive it off" or mix in the correct fuel — that doesn't dilute the problem, it spreads contaminated fuel further into the system.
3. Put the car in neutral, and if it's safe to do so, move it clear of the bowser/traffic.
4. Call us on 0406 396 397 — tell us your location and we'll get a mechanic moving toward you immediately.
5. Stay with the vehicle. We come to you — home, work, roadside, a petrol station, wherever you are.

You haven't broken your car. You've made a common mistake, and it's fixable — the only thing that turns it into an expensive one is time and a running engine.

What Actually Happens If You Don't Act Fast

Straight answer, no scare tactics: diesel fuel pumps rely on the fuel itself for lubrication. Petrol has none — so running a diesel engine on petrol, even briefly, can damage the pump and injectors within minutes. Diesel in a petrol engine causes rough running, misfiring, and potential damage to the catalytic converter and spark plugs if driven on. In both cases, the fix if caught early is simple: drain, flush, refill, done. The fix if left running is a much bigger bill — pump and injector replacement, sometimes engine work. That gap is entirely about how fast you call, which is the whole reason this is a same-day, come-to-you service rather than a book-in-next-week one.

Wrong Fuel Rescue — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I've put the wrong fuel in?

Common signs: the engine won't start, or starts and then stalls; rough running or misfiring; smoke from the exhaust; loss of power; a dashboard warning light. If any of this happens right after refuelling, stop and call — don't keep driving to "see if it's fine."

Can I just top up with the correct fuel instead of draining?

No. Adding correct fuel on top of contaminated fuel doesn't fix it — the tank and fuel lines still need to be drained and flushed properly, or the contamination just gets diluted and circulated instead of removed.

Will this void my manufacturer's warranty?

No. A correctly performed misfuel drain and flush doesn't affect your existing manufacturer's warranty.

How long does it take?

Most jobs are completed on-site within about 45-60 minutes once our technician arrives, depending on vehicle type and how much fuel is in the tank.

Do you service my suburb?

Yes, across Wyndham Vale, Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Tarneit, Point Cook, Eynesbury, Melton, Geelong, Lara and greater Melbourne West.

What if I've already started driving on the wrong fuel?

Stop as soon as it's safe and call us straight away — don't continue driving "to get home first." The earlier we get to it, the less chance of the fuel pump or injectors being damaged.
