Wrong fuel or empty tank in Doncaster: engine off, then call
Check your saved request for current online payment availability. Secure checkout is offered for accepted eligible quotes when enabled. If no payment option is shown, call 040 FUEL NOW (0403 835 669). New requests begin unpaid; saving alone does not confirm help. Your private receipt shows verified payment and separate technician dispatch status even if new checkout is unavailable. GPS and arrival estimates depend on technician dispatch and sharing. In danger, call 000.
Doncaster is the reference point for this mobile service area, with the standard 30 km radius measured from this suburb. That makes an exact description of where you are the most useful thing you can give us. A suburb name alone is rarely enough. This page explains what to have ready, what to do with the car in the next few minutes, and how the booking steps really work.
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.
Give an exact pin, not just the suburb
Because Doncaster is the anchor of the service area, a vehicle here is well inside the configured radius, and the main job is pinpointing it. Say the street and the nearest cross street, or the full address of the station, shopping centre, or car park where you stopped. If you are at a fuel pump, tell us which pump and whether the car is blocking another lane.
Share your phone location in the chat if you can. Also say which way the car is facing and whether it is on a slope, because a technician needs to know whether the vehicle can be reached on foot and in a work vehicle without moving it.
Wrong fuel or empty tank: two different jobs
If the wrong fuel went in, the car has to stay off. Removal is a quoted job at $449 standard, or $399 total with the $50 instant removal offer where eligible. If the tank is simply empty, delivery is $99 for up to 5L of the correct fuel, with extra litres only after a separate disclosed price you approve.
Not sure which one you have? Say what happened in plain words: what you put in, how much, whether the engine ran, and how far you drove. That decides which job is needed.
Where the booking stands at each step
Filling in a request saves it, unpaid. Payment, when available, is checked and shown on your private receipt. Technician dispatch is a separate step and is not guaranteed by payment alone. Call 040 FUEL NOW if anything on the receipt is unclear.

- 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.

Questions
Is Doncaster inside the service area?
Yes. Doncaster is the anchor for the configured 30 km service area, so the radius is measured from here. Call to confirm if you are unsure how your exact spot is treated.
What details speed up a Doncaster request?
The full address or nearest cross street, the vehicle make and fuel type, what fuel went in and roughly how much, and whether the engine was started. Having these ready saves questions.
Does the council reference mean the council endorses this service?
No. The council document is linked only to confirm geography. It does not endorse this service or confirm availability.
What if I only need fuel, not removal?
Choose the run-out option. Delivery is $99 for up to 5L; additional fuel is separately priced and needs your approval.
