The next two minutes

1

Don't start the engine. Don't even turn the key.

This is the single most important thing. If the engine hasn't run, the contaminated fuel is sitting safely in the tank. The minute the engine starts, that fuel gets pulled through the parts it can damage.

2

Tell the servo attendant.

They'll let you push the car clear of the pump so other customers can fuel up. Don't be embarrassed, this happens every day to plumbers, paramedics, parents and mechanics.

Call us on (08) 7083 9699.

A real technician answers 24/7. Our price is quoted on the phone before we move. Metro arrival is typically inside the hour, with the actual ETA quoted on the call. Tell us the make and model, the suburb and which way the mix up went, petrol in a diesel or diesel in a petrol car.

4

Have your keys ready and stay near the car.

We'll text an ETA once we're on the way. Have your keys handy and stay close so we can get going the moment we arrive.

5

Skip the tow truck.

We handle the fuel recovery on site: drain, flush, correct fuel and a running check where it is safe to restart. Suspected internal damage is referred to a workshop. Any additional check we carry out is priced separately and agreed with you first.

What NOT to do after misfuelling your car

  • ✕Don't start the engine to "see if it's OK." Every ignition cycle pulls more contaminated fuel through the system and the flush takes longer. Already started it? Stop safely, switch it off and call us. We handle the fuel side only. Suspected internal damage is referred to a workshop. Any additional check we carry out is priced separately and agreed with you first.
  • ✕Don't top up with the correct fuel hoping to dilute it. That just spreads the contamination through more of the tank.
  • ✕Don't drive it "just to the workshop." The sooner you stop, the shorter the flush. We do the whole drain kerbside, same place, same call.
  • ✕Don't panic. You're not the first. Most cars drive away with no lasting harm if you stop now.
