In danger, call 000.
Whitehorse City Council lists Blackburn North separately from Blackburn and Blackburn South. If your first description is a neighbourhood, school or shop name rather than a street address, add the details needed to locate the actual car. This guide focuses on kerbside and residential stops, identifying the right suburb, and explaining whether wrong fuel was noticed before or after the engine ran. Mobile help travels from the Doncaster service area; access is confirmed for your location.
Wrong-fuel removal: $449 standard — $399 total with $50 instant removal offer. Launch offer — redeem instantly when booking. Prices are totals, within 30 km of Doncaster.
The $50 instant removal offer applies only to eligible standard wrong-fuel removal within 30 km of Doncaster. No discount on fuel delivery, extra fuel, non-standard vehicles, specialist parts, towing, repairs or jobs outside coverage.
Fuel delivery unchanged: $99 up to 5L. Extra fuel is separately approved.
Kerbside cars and residential stops
If your vehicle is stopped on a residential street rather than at a pump, give the street, the house number nearest to the car and which side of the road it is on. If it is outside a house that is not yours, mention that and explain whether the occupier knows the car is there.
Please leave the keys out of the ignition and the handbrake on. A vehicle that has not been restarted is in the best position for assessment.
Using the map label properly
Whitehorse lists Blackburn North separately from Blackburn. If your map says Blackburn North, lead with that. If a friend told you where you were and the map shows something different, trust the map and the street sign, and mention the mismatch so nothing is assumed.
Fuel got into the tank at a pump nearby
If you realised at the pump, keep the engine off and tell the attendant a car is stopped there without moving it into traffic. Do not assume a conversation with station staff has created a booking with us. We are independent of every fuel retailer, so contact us directly with the station name and street.
Wrong fuel, or an empty tank?
Removal is $449 standard, or $399 total with the $50 instant removal offer where eligible. Delivery for a car that has simply run dry is $99 total including up to 5L, with additional fuel priced and approved separately. Never add the other fuel type to try to correct a mistake.

Right now: the first steps
- Engine off as soon as it is safe, and do not restart it. Hazard lights on.
- Keep everyone away from moving traffic and the pump. In danger, call 000.
- Do not drive on, drain or siphon the tank.
- Have ready: exact street or car park, vehicle, fuel type, what went in and how much.
Wrong fuel comes in two main forms. See petrol in diesel or diesel in petrol, and the core wrong fuel removal page. If the tank is simply empty, read emergency fuel delivery.
Petrol in a diesel vehicle: if you notice the mistake at the pump, keep the engine off and do not attempt to drive away or dilute the mixture. Tell us the vehicle's correct fuel, roughly how much petrol was added and whether the engine ran. If it has been driven, stop and switch off when safe; explain any symptoms without restarting to demonstrate them.
Diesel in a petrol vehicle: leave the key off and do not add petrol to try to correct it. Keep the fuel receipt if available and describe the amounts added. A car that has already been started needs that fact recorded during booking; a fuel delivery is not a substitute for assessing the wrong-fuel situation.
Empty tank, rather than wrong fuel: choose emergency fuel delivery and confirm the fuel the vehicle actually takes. The $99 total package includes up to 5L within the standard 30 km Doncaster service area. Additional litres need a separate disclosed price and your approval. Do not leave a dangerous stopping place on foot to search for fuel.
