Rapid Fuel Assist provides mobile wrong fuel rescue, recovery and drainage across Melbourne Metro, Geelong and regional Victoria. Our technicians attend your exact location and resolve it on the spot — whether that’s petrol in a diesel car, diesel in a petrol car, or contaminated fuel in your tank.
The most important thing you can do after misfuelling is stop immediately and do not start your engine. Starting the vehicle after putting in the wrong fuel circulates the contaminated fuel through your fuel pump, injectors and engine — causing serious and expensive damage.
According to Drive.com.au, wrong fuel damage can cost thousands of dollars — the sooner you call, the better the outcome.
Whether you’ve put petrol in a diesel car, diesel in a petrol car, or are dealing with contaminated fuel — Rapid Fuel Assist will come directly to your exact location and fix it on the spot. No tow trucks, no mechanics, no waiting.
Wrong fuel rescue in Melbourne is most effective when you act immediately. Driving with the wrong fuel — even for a short distance — can cause serious and expensive damage to your vehicle’s fuel system. Here’s what can happen:
The fuel pump relies on fuel for lubrication. Petrol in a diesel system damages the pump within minutes of the engine running as petrol has no lubrication properties.
Contaminated fuel damages fuel injectors which are expensive to replace. Early intervention prevents this damage entirely.
If the wrong fuel reaches the engine it can cause misfiring, stalling and in severe cases complete engine failure requiring a full rebuild.
The sooner you call us the better the outcome. If you haven’t started the engine we can drain the fuel completely with no lasting damage to your vehicle in most cases.

Can you fix a wrong fuel issue if I have already started the engine?
Yes — we can still help even if the engine has been started. However the sooner you stop and call us the better. Starting the engine after misfuelling circulates the contaminated fuel through your fuel pump, injectors and engine which can cause additional damage. Call us immediately on 1300 692 469 and we’ll assess the situation and advise the best course of action.
Do you carry replacement fuel after draining my tank?
Yes — where required we carry clean fuel to get your vehicle moving again after we have completed the drain and flush. This means in most cases you can drive away immediately after our service without needing to find a petrol station. This is included as part of our fixed all-inclusive pricing.
Is the AdBlue wrong fuel service available everywhere in Melbourne?
Our AdBlue wrong fuel service is available across Melbourne Metro but is assessed on a case by case basis as AdBlue contamination involves more variables than a standard wrong fuel incident. Call us on 1300 692 469 and we’ll assess your specific situation and advise whether we can assist and what the process involves.
How long does a wrong fuel rescue service take from start to finish?
Most wrong fuel rescue jobs are completed within 30 to 45 minutes from the time we arrive at your location. This includes draining the contaminated fuel, flushing the system and refuelling your vehicle so you can drive away. More complex cases such as heavily contaminated systems or larger vehicles may take longer but we’ll advise you upfront.
