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 Chelmsford where we can’t work
Chelmsford is ringed by fast roads: the A12 to the east, the A130 towards Southend and the A414 towards Maldon and Harlow. Where they’re dual carriageway, our van can’t work on them or their slip roads. If you lose power on one, have the car recovered to a safe stop such as a filling station or a car park in town, and call us from there.
