Leaving the engine off keeps the wrong fuel in the tank, where it can be drained cleanly. That’s the difference between a drain and a new fuel pump.
- Keep the ignition off. Even turning the key far enough to light the dashboard starts the electric fuel pump, which draws the wrong fuel into the lines and the engine.
- Keep the car where it is. Don’t drive it. If it’s blocking a pump, put it in neutral and push it by hand into a parking bay.
- Don’t top up with the right fuel. Adding fresh fuel won’t dilute the mix enough to protect a high-pressure pump.
- Call us straight away. Tell us where you are and what went in, and we’ll send the nearest van.
Fast roads around Bury St Edmunds where we can’t work
The A14 runs along the north side of Bury St Edmunds as a fast dual carriageway, so our van can’t work on it or its slip roads. The A134 and A143 bring traffic in from Thetford, Sudbury and Diss. If you’re on the A14 when the problem starts, have the car recovered to a filling station or into town and we’ll meet you there.
