Toyota HiAce petrol in diesel wrong fuel recovery in Tullamarine near Melbourne Airport by Rapid Fuel Assist

We provide mobile wrong fuel recovery across Tullamarine and the Melbourne Airport precinct for vans, commercial vehicles and passenger cars.

What happens when petrol is put into a diesel Toyota HiAce?

Petrol contamination in a diesel vehicle such as a Toyota HiAce can cause serious damage to the high-pressure fuel pump and injectors if the engine is started. Even a small amount of petrol in a diesel system reduces lubrication and increases wear. Immediate professional fuel removal is the safest way to prevent expensive repairs and vehicle downtime.

  • I’ve put the wrong fuel in my car – what should I do?

    Stay calm — it’s a common mistake. If you’ve just filled up but haven’t started the engine, don’t start the car. If you’ve already started or driven, pull over safely as soon as possible, switch off the engine, and avoid trying to drive further. The sooner the engine is stopped, the better. Park in a safe location, leave the vehicle off, and call us — we’ll guide you through what to do next and send help fast

  • What damage can the wrong fuel do to my vehicle?

    Using the wrong fuel can seriously harm your engine, fuel pump, and injectors — especially if the car is started or driven. But if you haven’t started the vehicle, you’re in the best position — we can provide a complete, risk-free solution. The best outcome in a bad situation is catching it early, and Rapid Fuel Assist is here to fix it fast, prevent damage, and get you moving again safely

  • Can I still drive with the wrong fuel in my car?

    You shouldn’t drive at all if you’ve put the wrong fuel in — even if the car seems to be running fine. Driving can circulate the contaminated fuel through your engine and fuel system, leading to expensive damage. The safest move is to turn off the vehicle immediately and call Rapid Fuel Assist. The sooner we get to it, the better the outcome

  • How long does the wrong fuel removal process take?

    Once we arrive, the process usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes for most vehicles. We work efficiently on-site to drain the contaminated fuel, refill your tank, and get you back on the road. With Rapid Fuel Assist, there’s no waiting around — just fast, reliable service when you need it most.

  • How much will it cost for the call out and to fix my fuel?

    We offer fixed pricing based on your situation, with no hidden fees. For an accurate quote, just give us a call. We back our service with a no fix, no fee guarantee, and there are no extra costs for tow trucks or waiting around for a mechanic — we come to you, fast. Rapid Fuel Assist provides a cost-effective solution with no surprises
