Templestowe area guide
Templestowe address or nearby-suburb label: say what you know
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.
When requesting help in Templestowe, distinguish the address shown on your map from a general area label supplied by someone else. Manningham Council lists Templestowe separately from Templestowe Lower. This guide explains how to check the suburb, street and stopping position together so a mobile service travelling from the Doncaster service area has an accurate location, rather than an assumed destination.
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.
Address versus label
If you are reading an address off a sign, a receipt, or a delivery app, give it exactly as written. If you are only using Templestowe as a general area name, say so.
A mismatch between the address and the label is a common source of confusion. We use the street address as the working pin.
If a delivery driver, a booking app, or a friend gave you the Templestowe label, treat it as a hint rather than a fact. Read the street number off a letterbox or a shop sign, and say which of those you used. A single confirmed street number is worth more than any suburb label, and it lets us check the pin against the map before anything else is arranged.
Verify with the map
Open your map app. Read the street, the number, and the suburb. If the suburb shown is Templestowe Lower or another suburb, tell us. We prefer two descriptions to one wrong one.
Do not rely on the name of a local shop or school if you are not sure of its address.
Stay safe and keep it off
Switch the engine off when it is safe. Do not restart it. Keep people clear of the car and of traffic. Pricing is the same wherever you are in the configured area: removal $449 or $399 with the $50 offer where eligible, delivery $99 up to 5L.
Run-out and wrong-fuel scenarios
If the tank is empty, delivery is $99 for up to 5L of the correct fuel, enough to get moving toward the nearest service station, and anything beyond 5L needs a separate disclosed price and approval. If the wrong fuel went in, delivery is not the right job: removal is $449 standard or $399 with the offer where eligible. Describe the situation plainly and we will say which applies.
Prices, stated plainly
- Wrong-fuel removal: $449 standard. $399 total with the $50 instant removal offer, where eligible.
- Run-out delivery: $99 total including up to 5L of the correct fuel. More than 5L is priced separately and needs your approval.

$99 total — includes up to 5L fuel within the standard 30 km Doncaster service area.
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.
