How can we help you?
Wrong Fuel Questions Answered
What should I do if I put the wrong fuel in my car in Melbourne?
Stop immediately and do not start or run your engine — this is the most important step. Starting the vehicle circulates the contaminated fuel through your engine and fuel system which can cause serious and expensive damage. Stay with your car, turn on your hazard lights, and call Rapid Fuel Assist on 1300 692 469. We’ll come directly to your location across Melbourne and surrounding suburbs and fix it on the spot.
How much does wrong fuel rescue cost in Melbourne?
Every job is different: the vehicle, how much fuel is in the tank, where you are and what’s needed all affect the price. Call us on 1300 692 469 and we’ll give you a clear, fixed, all-inclusive price over the phone before we dispatch. No payment until the job is done, no hidden fees, no card surcharges, and no fix means no fee.
How fast can Rapid Fuel Assist arrive for wrong fuel rescue in Melbourne?
We aim to reach you within 30 to 60 minutes across the Melbourne metro area, 7 days a week. Response times vary depending on your location and current demand, but we dispatch immediately upon your call. As a fully mobile service we come directly to you — whether you’re at a petrol station, roadside, at home, or in a car park. The sooner you call after misfuelling, the better the outcome for your engine.
Do you provide mobile fuel draining services across all Melbourne suburbs?

Can the wrong fuel damage my car's engine?
Yes — driving with the wrong fuel can cause serious damage to your fuel pump, injectors, and engine. Even running the engine briefly after misfuelling can circulate contaminated fuel throughout the system. However if you act quickly and don’t start the vehicle, Rapid Fuel Assist will drain and flush your fuel system on the spot so there’s no lasting damage.
What types of vehicles do you service for wrong fuel rescue?
We service all petrol and diesel vehicles including cars, vans, utes, 4WDs, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles. Whether you’ve put petrol in a diesel car or diesel in a petrol car — our Melbourne team has the specialist equipment and expertise to handle it safely and efficiently on the spot.
