Put the Wrong Fuel in Your Car in Templestowe?
It happens more than people admit, a diesel wagon filled with unleaded at a servo on Manningham Road, or a work ute topped up with the wrong nozzle in a rush. The panic is normal. What matters is what you do in the next five minutes.
Left running, contaminated fuel clogs injectors and strains the pump fast, turning a simple drain into a repair bill worth thousands. Our mobile team comes straight to you in Templestowe, drains the tank, flushes the lines, and refills with the right fuel, usually inside 30 to 45 minutes of your call.

- Call our 24 hour line and give us your Templestowe location and vehicle type.
- We send a fully equipped mobile fuel drain van straight to you.
- The contaminated fuel is drained safely into a sealed container.
- We flush the lines and prime the system with a small amount of the correct fuel.

- You're back on the road, usually within the hour.

Expert Tips for a Breakdown in Templestowe
Thompsons Road and the Foote Street roundabouts carry heavy commuter traffic morning and evening, so a stalled car there causes more trouble than it would on a quieter street. If you can coast clear of a roundabout or intersection safely, do that before anything else.
Streets around the newer Templestowe estates and courts can be tight with cars parked on both sides. Tell our operator if you're in one of these pockets so we send a truck that can actually get in and out.
