This is the most important step. Starting the engine circulates the wrong fuel through the system and causes far more damage. If you have already started it, turn it off immediately.
If you are at a petrol station, leave the car at the pump and inform staff. If you are on a road, move to a safe location, switch on your hazard lights, and stay away from moving traffic.
Call Black Eagle Recovery on 0330 520 1620. We will arrange recovery to a suitable garage or refer you to a fuel drain specialist as quickly as possible.
Attempting to drain the fuel yourself can cause additional damage and is dangerous. Leave it to the professionals.
