Yes!

Whether you're at the marina, foreshore, shopping area, or residential suburbs, we come to you.

Petrol in a diesel engine is extremely serious. Diesel fuel lubricates the fuel pump and injectors, while petrol has no lubricating properties. This causes immediate metal-on-metal contact, leading to expensive damage ($5,000-$15,000+ in repairs) especially in modern common-rail diesel systems found in Navaras, Hiluxes, Rangers, and Tritons. Diesel in a petrol engine is less catastrophic - the engine typically won't run properly but causes less immediate damage. Both require professional drainage, but petrol in diesel is far more urgent.

From the time we arrive at your Mandurah location, the complete wrong fuel drainage service takes 60-90 minutes. This includes full tank drainage, fuel system flushing, proper disposal of contaminated fuel, and refilling with 5-10L of correct fuel to get you going. We work efficiently but thoroughly to ensure all contaminated fuel is removed. Response times vary depending on traffic and current location, typically 60-90 minutes from Perth metro area.

Absolutely not. Driving even a short distance with wrong fuel can cause catastrophic engine damage costing thousands of dollars. Whether you're at Mandurah Forum, the marina, or anywhere in the region, stay where you are. Our mobile service comes directly to you with all necessary equipment. Attempting to drive 70km to Perth with wrong fuel would almost certainly destroy your engine.

We service all major Mandurah petrol stations including those along Mandurah Terrace, Pinjarra Road, Old Coast Road, Gordon Road, and throughout all Mandurah suburbs. We also attend callouts at the marina, foreshore car parks, residential areas, and anywhere in Halls Head, Meadow Springs, Lakelands, Falcon, and surrounding areas.

Most standard comprehensive car insurance policies in Australia don't automatically cover misfuelling. However, some insurers like RAC (very common in WA), NRMA, and RACV offer it as an optional add-on. Check your policy documents or call your insurer. Even if covered, excess fees typically apply () and making a claim can affect future premiums. Many Mandurah residents find it more cost-effective to pay directly for our service rather than go through insurance paperwork and potentially higher premiums. Call us on 0416 692 022 to discuss your options.

Mandurah has several contributing factors: (1) Popular holiday destination with rental vehicles and unfamiliar cars, (2) Many retirees and older drivers managing multiple vehicles, (3) Boating community with diesel boats creating confusion, (4) Busy tourist area with distracted drivers, (5) Growing population with mix of vehicle types. We service Mandurah regularly - you're not alone.

We strongly advise against DIY fuel drainage. Modern fuel systems (especially common-rail diesel) are complex, and incomplete drainage leaves contaminated fuel in lines, filters, and injectors causing ongoing problems. You'll need specialized extraction equipment ($500+), proper fuel disposal (environmental laws apply - fines up to $10,000 for improper disposal), mechanical knowledge, and safety equipment. Most DIY attempts result in incomplete drainage requiring professional service anyway. Our professional service is faster, safer, guaranteed complete, and legally compliant.

Yes! We service vehicles at all Mandurah marina locations, boat ramps, foreshore car parks, and throughout the coastal areas. Many of our Mandurah callouts are at the marina or near boat facilities where people confuse marine diesel with automotive fuel. We understand the marina environment and work around boat trailers and marine traffic.

If you've already driven with wrong fuel, damage may have occurred but stop immediately and call us on 0416 692 022. The extent of damage depends on: (1) Fuel type - petrol in diesel is worse than diesel in petrol, (2) Distance driven - the further you drove, the more potential damage, (3) How hard you drove it - highway driving causes more damage than gentle driving. We'll still drain the system and flush it thoroughly. In some cases, especially petrol in diesel, you may need follow-up mechanical inspection. However, our thorough drainage service often prevents further damage and gets you mobile again.
