A vehicle in Doncaster East may need help on a driveway, at a street kerb or in a shopping car park, rather than at a fuel pump. Council material identifies Wetherby Road in its Doncaster East geographic context; use it as a reference only when you can confirm your position. This guide explains how to describe private access points and check the details a mobile technician needs before travelling to your car.
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.
Driveways, kerbs and shopping car parks
If you are on your own driveway, say whether the car is nose-in or reversed in, whether there is a gate or a lock, and whether the garage door is open. Leave the keys out of the ignition and the car in park or in gear with the handbrake on. A parked vehicle that has not been started is the safest starting position.
In a shopping car park, name the centre, the car park section, and a nearby sign or trolley bay. Large car parks look similar from the driver seat, so a landmark you can see beats a guess at the street name.
Describing the street clearly
Give the street number if you are at home, or the nearest cross street if on the road. If you have crossed Wetherby Road or are close to it, say so, because it helps place you on a map. Do not guess distances you are unsure about.
If the car must be moved a short distance for safety, do not start it. Ask a person to help push it in neutral on level ground, or call us and tell us why it needs to move.
If you already drove a little
If you notice a problem after driving away, stop and switch off when safe. Tell us how far you drove and whether the car coughed, surged or lost power. That detail helps distinguish a car left off at the pump from one whose engine has already run. Do not drive it home to the driveway or restart it to demonstrate a symptom.
Petrol in diesel and diesel in petrol
If the wrong type went in, do not start the car, even briefly to move it off a driveway. Our guides on petrol in diesel and diesel in petrol explain what happens inside the fuel system. Tell us how much went in and whether the engine ran, since that shapes what is needed.

Right now: the first five minutes
- 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.

Questions
Can you work in a private driveway?
Say it is a driveway when you call, and mention any gate, lock, or slope. Access is confirmed during the call before anything is arranged.
Why mention Wetherby Road?
Council material links Doncaster East with Wetherby Road, so it is a reasonable reference. Use it only if you are actually near it.
What if I only ran out of fuel at home?
Delivery is $99 for up to 5L of petrol or diesel. Extra fuel needs a separately disclosed price and your approval.
Does paying confirm a technician is coming?
No. Verified payment and technician dispatch are separate steps. Check your private receipt or call 040 FUEL NOW.
