About this location
This corner puts drivers at the meeting of Kings Way and Bank Street, a heavy commuter link between the CBD, Southbank and the bayside. Traffic here is steady and often fast, which matters if a car has to stay where it stopped.
South Melbourne sits on busy arterials, with Kings Way, City Road and Bank Street funnelling commuters and freight past the forecourts every day. Wrong-fuel slips often happen mid-commute, when drivers fill quickly between the CBD and the bayside.
Ampol Foodary South Melbourne is shown here as a supplied reference location. It is not our business address, and the station is not a partner.
Wrong-fuel scenarios at this stop
Commuter fills petrol into a diesel on the way to work
On a corner this busy, early-morning fills are rushed. If petrol went into a diesel, leave the key off and stay clear of moving traffic at the exit lanes.
Hire ute collected nearby
Tradies picking up hire vehicles around South Melbourne sometimes assume unleaded. Check the fuel cap label first, and if you were wrong, do not start it.
Engine started and stalled at the exit
If the car already ran and stalled near the Kings Way exit, switch off when safe, put hazards on, and wait for people and vehicles to clear before asking for help.
While you wait
Waiting advice
- Stand on the footpath side, away from the Kings Way entry and exit lanes.
- Keep your hazard lights on if the vehicle is exposed to traffic.
- Keep your phone charged and the registration handy.
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. GPS and an estimated arrival depend on technician dispatch and sharing, not payment alone.
Safety at this site
The corner position means vehicles exit toward busy roads. Do not roll the car into traffic. If staff or others can help you move it away from the bowser by hand, accept help, but do not start it.
Do not start the engine. Do not drain, siphon or drive the vehicle.
Questions about wrong fuel at Ampol Foodary South Melbourne
I stopped at the Kings Way and Bank Street corner and used the wrong pump. What now?
Do not start the engine. If it is on, switch it off when safe. Move people away from the traffic path, then send the request form with this address pre-filled.
Does Ampol offer the wrong-fuel removal listed here?
No. This service is independent and not provided by Ampol or the station. We list the address only as a location reference.
Wrong fuel: what is the first thing I do?
Do not start the engine. If it is already running, switch it off when safe, do not restart, and request assistance.
Does saving a request dispatch a technician?
No. Saving records your details without charging you or confirming a booking. Accepting a quote is also not payment. Only server-verified payment confirms the paid booking, which awaits separate technician dispatch. Check your private receipt for dispatch status, or call 040 FUEL NOW. Rapid Fuel Technician is a service descriptor, not an emergency service.
What do the booking statuses mean?
Request saved: Your details are recorded. Nothing is charged and no booking or dispatch is confirmed by saving alone. Quote accepted: You have agreed to the exact price and confirmed coverage, including any separately approved extra fuel. Accepting is not payment. Payment verified: Our server has verified payment with the provider and confirmed the paid booking. A checkout redirect or pending payment is not verification. Awaiting dispatch: The paid booking is waiting for technician dispatch. Payment alone does not mean a technician is travelling or guarantee arrival. Dispatched: Technician dispatch is confirmed on your private receipt. GPS location and an estimated arrival appear only when the technician shares them; estimates are not guarantees. Completed: The job has been marked completed. Live tracking has ended.
