Boroondara City Council identifies Kew Junction as a shopping locality. For a stopped vehicle near shops or a private car park in Kew, a business address may point to the front door rather than the entrance beside your car. This guide explains how to separate those details, describe the actual parking position and prepare the fuel history. 040 FUEL NOW is a mobile service travelling from the Doncaster service area, not a Kew branch.
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.
Starting from what you can see
Read the nearest street sign, then the closest shop front or building number. If you are in a car park, give the name of the operator or centre and the area of the car park. Add the suburb your map shows. If you are near Kew Junction, say so alongside a street. Explain which entrance you used and whether the car is beside that entrance or elsewhere in the lot.
Parked cars in busy shopping areas
A busy retail area can have many similar-looking cars and bays. Tell us the colour, make and registration of your vehicle so it can be identified, and say whether it is in a bay, at a kerb or in a private lot. If it is in a lot, mention the operator because access depends on their permission.
What to leave alone
Do not start the engine, push the car, or attempt to move it on a slope. Do not siphon or drain the tank, and do not add other fuel. Hazard lights on, passengers away from the traffic, and 000 if anyone is in danger.
What a good report sounds like
A useful call runs in a simple order: where the car is, what the vehicle is, what fuel it takes, what went in and how much, whether the engine ran, and whether the car is blocking anything. That is enough for us to say whether removal or delivery applies.
Removal is $449 standard, or $399 total with the $50 instant removal offer where eligible. Delivery is $99 total for up to 5L, with extra litres only after a price you approve.

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.

Questions
Is Kew within the service area?
Kew is within the standard 30 km area measured from Doncaster. Call to confirm if you are unsure about your exact spot.
Can I just give Kew Junction as my location?
Use it as context, not the complete address. Add the street, nearest visible number and the entrance or parking position beside your vehicle so the booking has a specific destination.
Is a shop's postal address enough to locate my car?
Not always. Say whether the car is at the shop front, a different parking entrance or inside a private lot. Read the sign at your actual position and explain any gate or access restriction.
Does the council endorse this service?
No. The page is linked only to confirm a place name.
