Stop Immediately and Turn Off the Engine (or Ignition)
Move the Vehicle Safely (But DO NOT Drive It)
-
Crucial Action: If you are still at the pump, DO NOT turn the ignition key, DO NOT start the engine, and DO NOT engage the electronic parking brake (as this often requires the ignition). If you have driven away, pull over safely immediately and switch the engine off.
-
Why? Running the engine, or even just turning the ignition on, circulates the contaminated fuel through the high-pressure pump and injectors, leading to rapid and catastrophic damage.
-
Crucial Action: Put the car in neutral and ask someone to help you push it away from the pump island to a safe parking bay or corner of the forecourt.
-
Why? You need to move the vehicle out of the way without starting the engine to allow other vehicles access to the pumps.
