Brisbane Wrong Fuel FAQs
Not sure what fuel went in? Call 1300 369 215 and we’ll guide you.
What should I do if I put petrol in my diesel car in Brisbane?
Don’t start the engine. If it’s already running, pull over safely and switch it off. Call 1300 369 215 and we’ll confirm your location and arrange the right mobile service.
Can you drain diesel from a petrol car in Brisbane?
Yes. We can attend your location, remove contaminated fuel, and flush the system as needed to help get you back on the road.
What happens if I start the car after misfuelling?
Starting the engine can circulate the wrong fuel through the fuel system and increase the chance of damage. Tell us if it was started and we’ll advise the safest next step.
Do you cover all Brisbane suburbs?
We’re mobile across Brisbane and surrounding suburbs. If you’re unsure, call 1300 369 215 and we’ll confirm coverage straight away.
How long does a mobile fuel drain usually take?
Most jobs take around 20 – 30 minutes depending on the vehicle, the amount of wrong fuel added, and whether the engine was started.
Can you help with AdBlue in the diesel tank?
Yes – but don’t start the vehicle. AdBlue contamination can cause expensive issues if run through the system, so call us as soon as possible.
Will the car start after the fuel is drained and flushed?
In many cases, yes. Once contaminated fuel is removed and the system is cleared as required, the vehicle can usually be started and checked.
How much wrong fuel is “too much”?
Even small amounts can cause issues, especially in modern diesels. Call us with an estimate of how much went in and we’ll guide you.
Do you work on vans, 4WDs and fleet vehicles in Brisbane?
Yes. We service most cars, utes, vans, 4WDs and many fleet vehicles. Call with the make/model if you want us to confirm.
What info should I have ready when I call?
Your suburb, vehicle make/model, what fuel was added, roughly how many litres, and whether the engine was started.
