WRONG FUEL
CANBERRA.
Petrol in a diesel, or diesel in a petrol, at a Canberra servo? Do not start the engine. Call us from the forecourt and we will drain the tank, flush the lines and get you moving, usually the same day, from our Fyshwick workshop.
Misfuelled in Canberra? Do this now.
Whether it happened at a Fyshwick truck stop, a Civic servo or on the way out of Hume, the cost of a misfuel is decided by one thing: whether the engine was started.
Do not start the engine
An unstarted car usually only needs a drain and flush. Starting it pulls contaminated fuel through the pump, filter and injectors.
Do not turn the key at all
On most modern cars, even accessory position primes the fuel pump and moves the wrong fuel into the lines.
Push clear if safe
Get the car out of the fuel lane so the servo keeps moving, but never start it to reposition.
Call us with the details
Make, model, fuel type, roughly how much went in, and whether it has been started. We quote before any work begins.
Everything else we can do in the same visit.
