Question 1

I just put the wrong fuel in my car — what do I do first?

Accepted Answer

Do not start the engine. Leave the vehicle where it is and call us immediately. Starting the engine circulates contaminated fuel through injectors, pumps and filters and turns a simple drain into a costly rebuild.

Most on-site recoveries are complete within 30 to 90 minutes, including the drain, fuel-line flush, filter replacement, and priming with the correct fuel.
