I put dodgy diesel in my SEAT Ibiza...

Dodgy diesel was put into a 1.2 SEAT Ibiza, which stopped on the road. The car was towed to a garage where the diesel tank was cleaned out, but the car would not start so next step is to get a pump. Would it be a bad idea to get a second hand pump instead of a new one and in your opinion should this solve the problem?
