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 Leicester where we can’t work
The M1 and the M69 meet south-west of Leicester, and the A46 western bypass and the A6 carry a lot of fast traffic. We can’t work on motorways or fast dual carriageways, or on their slip roads. If you break down on one, have the car recovered to a safe place such as a filling station or a retail park car park, and call us from there.
