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 (many thousands 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 Willetton location, jobs take around 30-60 minutes, depending on your car type and how much fuel you put in. 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. Ben usually arrives in around 60 minutes, depending on whether we're on another job and how far away you are.

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 Willetton customers find it more straightforward to pay directly for our service rather than go through insurance paperwork. Call us on 0416 692 022 to discuss your options.

Willetton has several high-risk scenarios: (1) Busy shopping district around Southlands with distracted drivers, (2) High residential density with diverse vehicle fleet, (3) Many family vehicles switching between petrol and diesel cars, (4) Proximity to Canning Vale industrial area increasing commercial traffic, (5) Mix of older and newer vehicles with different fuel requirements. We attend multiple Willetton callouts every week - you're definitely 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 (hundreds of dollars), proper fuel disposal (environmental laws apply - substantial fines for improper disposal), mechanical knowledge, and safety equipment. Most DIY attempts result in incomplete drainage requiring professional service anyway, plus you've wasted time and potentially spread contamination further. Our professional service is faster, safer, guaranteed complete, and legally compliant.

Yes! We provide on-site service to all Willetton area locations including residential driveways throughout Willetton, Riverton, Rossmoyne, Shelley, Lynwood, Ferndale, and all surrounding suburbs.

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.
