What affects the cost of wrong-fuel rescue in Canberra?
The cost depends on your vehicle, location and the contamination involved. RoadHelp provides mobile help for petrol in diesel, diesel in petrol and AdBlue accidentally added to a vehicle fuel tank. Call 0498 338 188 for availability and a quote for your situation.
Information we need for a quote
- Your location and whether the vehicle is safely accessible.
- The vehicle make, model and fuel type.
- What was added to the tank and approximately how much.
- Whether the ignition was switched on, the engine was started or the vehicle was driven.
Fuel draining and any further work
The amount of contaminated fuel and the work needed to drain and clean the system affect the quote. Tell us if AdBlue was added to the fuel tank, as this needs a specific assessment. If the vehicle has been started or driven, further inspection or mechanical repair may be needed. Fuel draining alone cannot guarantee that existing damage is resolved.
Ask what the quote includes, including attendance, fuel removal, cleaning and replacement fuel where applicable. Any additional work should be discussed before it proceeds.
What to do while arranging help
Keep the ignition off and do not start the engine. If you are already driving, stop somewhere safe and switch off. Tell the technician what happened before attempting to restart the vehicle.
