Wrong fuel while travelling between Canberra and Goulburn
Misfuelling on a highway trip can leave you away from your usual mechanic. When you call, give us your precise location, nearby exit or service station and direction of travel. This helps us assess attendance along the corridor without asking you to drive the contaminated vehicle farther.
Petrol in a diesel vehicle?
Keep the engine off if possible. If the vehicle has already been driven, stop in a safe location, switch off and do not restart. Tell us how much petrol was added and whether you noticed any symptoms before stopping.
Diesel in petrol or AdBlue contamination?
Road Help also assists when diesel has been added to a petrol vehicle or AdBlue has entered the fuel tank. The required service depends on the vehicle, contamination and whether the engine has operated.
Calling from the roadside
- Make sure you and the vehicle are in a safe position.
- Give your exact location, road, nearest exit or service station and direction of travel.
- Provide the vehicle make, model and correct fuel type.
- Explain what was added, approximately how much and whether the vehicle has been driven.
