About this location
Nicholson Street runs along the eastern edge of Carlton, close to the Carlton Gardens and busy tram routes. Pedestrians, cyclists and trams share the road, so a vehicle stopped awkwardly here needs particular care.
Carlton is dense and tram-heavy, with Nicholson Street and Elgin Street carrying a mix of university traffic, visitors and residents. Tight forecourts and limited parking make it important to stay put and get safe space.
Metro Petroleum Carlton is shown here as a supplied reference location. It is not our business address, and the station is not a partner.

A student driving a parent's diesel SUV uses the petrol pump. Do not start the car and tell us it was borrowed.
Visitor parking for the Carlton Gardens precinct
Visitors in unfamiliar vehicles may pick the wrong handle. Make a note of the amount shown on the pump.
Short top-up between errands
A few litres can still harm a diesel. Do not drive off on the idea it is minor.

Questions about wrong fuel at Metro Petroleum Carlton
Wrong fuel at Nicholson Street: can I drive around the corner?
No. Even a short drive circulates the fuel. Keep the car where it is if it is safe, or ask others to help move it by hand.
Is Metro Petroleum part of this service?
No. The station is independent of us, and we are not acting for the retailer. The address is provided for location only.
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.
