Questions
What should I do first if I put the wrong fuel in my car in Carlton?
Do not start the engine. If it is running, switch off when safe, keep clear of traffic on Nicholson Street and other roads, and call 040 FUEL NOW.

Save your request, then review and accept an eligible quote. Pay securely when checkout is available. Only verified payment confirms the paid booking; technician dispatch is a separate step. Call 040 FUEL NOW if you need help. Saving or paying does not guarantee arrival.
