Leaks and spills

A roadway fuel leak may need emergency-service or road-authority involvement and environmental containment. Do not restart the engine until the source and fire risk are assessed.

Contamination needs a plan

If the wrong fuel or contaminated diesel is suspected, avoid running the engine. Tell the provider how much was added and whether the engine has operated since.

Can fuel-system parts be fitted roadside?

Some low-pressure or external components may be, but high-pressure work and contamination often require a controlled workshop environment.
