Misfuelled in Bury St Edmunds? We come to you.
Bury St Edmunds sits right on the A14, so a lot of the misfuels we hear about here happen to people passing through: a fill-up on the way to work, the school run or a long drive east. Others happen on a quiet Sunday at a supermarket pump.
Wherever it happened, the answer is the same. Don’t start the engine, and call us. We drive out to the car anywhere in and around Bury St Edmunds, drain the wrong fuel, flush the lines and get you moving again.

If you have left the forecourt and the car starts to misfire on the A14 or the A134, pull over as soon as it’s safe and switch off. Every mile on the wrong fuel pushes it further through the pump and injectors.
