Here Is What Happens Stop, and leave the motor off — not on, and not for a second to move it. Hasn't been run? Then petrol in a diesel will usually be a straightforward drain-and-flush job wherever the vehicle has stopped — and nothing settles that more than the next few minutes do. Here is the sequence of things from now, wherever you're around Bayton. ## Engine off: minute one with petrol in a diesel Do the following before anything else, in this sequence. - Ignition off, keys out. Switched on, the ignition can prime the system — and priming is what moves petrol out of your tank towards the parts it harms. - Topping up with diesel sounds like it dilutes the problem. It doesn't: nothing gets out, and your tank simply holds more of the same. - Get your car simple to see before anything else — hazard lights on — if there's moving traffic anywhere near you. - The staff will generally help you roll it clear of the petrol pump. Let them, and roll it by hand — not on your engine, even for a couple of yards. - The first thing you will be asked is which fuel went in and about how much — and your receipt shows both. Keep it. Still driving when you noticed? Come off the M5 at the next exit if that's where you are, under 15 miles from Bayton, and pull over somewhere safe and not pushing on to the services. Then begin at step one. ## Every Bayton fuel drain starts here: has the engine run? From this point on, everything comes down to a single answer. If your engine has not run at all: - Nowhere but the tank: that's where the petrol yet is. - The job is a drain and a flush, usually done where your car stands. - This, here, is the best spot to be in, and the reason step one matters. If the motor has been run, even briefly: - The lines and the filter now hold petrol drawn from the tank. - A bigger run takes it right through to the high-pressure pump and your injectors. - The farther it went, the bigger this job — the lines, the filter, and now and then more besides. Diesel keeps the high-pressure fuel pump and the fuel injectors oiled as it goes through them. Petrol gives them nothing, and that is why the line is drawn there. A tank of petrol, left still, hurts nothing. As soon as it's pumped, petrol begins grinding whatever moves it. ## Bayton, petrol in a diesel: have these prepared before you call A little preparation is the difference between a van that finds you and a technician that goes round. - The ideal start is a postcode — one starting DY14 9 — for where you have stopped. - The road or the car park. A road name is a help — Clows Top Lane, or wherever you have stopped. - Car parks are found more easily by what they serve: tell us the one at The Co-operative, and it's simple. - Tell us what your car is — make, model — and confirm it is diesel. - What got in. Petrol, or AdBlue. AdBlue is a separate job with its own page for Bayton, and so say which. - The amount: the receipt's litres, or otherwise how long you had the nozzle in. - The mileage it did, and how heavily, if it ran at all. - Whose vehicle it is. Some hire and company agreements want the owner to authorise the work, and that's quicker settled before we get there than after. Next, 0333 366 0103. Not time-critical, your car left at home with nowhere to be? Then works as well. ## The wait for a Bayton fuel drain, and what to do in it The wait is where well-meant help does the harm. Stick to these. - Where your car has stopped decides where you wait. Somewhere exposed: away from it, clear of the traffic. Safe: with it. Either way, safety ahead of the vehicle. - Not to roll it a couple of yards, not to check it is all right, not as a passer-by's kindness: no one starts it. - No additives. Two-stroke oil, injector cleaner, something from the boot — none of it takes the petrol back out. - No home-made draining. Siphoning petrol into a can at the roadside is risky, and it leaves the fuel that has already gone beyond your tank. - Ignition stays off. Even for the radio or your windows. ## Van arrived? The fuel drain, one stage at a time - Fuel, volume, whether it's run: those answers decide this job, and that's why you get a quote after them instead of before. - Out of that tank comes the contaminated blend: your tank is drained. - Petrol that has moved beyond the tank travels in the fuel lines once it ran, and your lines are flushed to clear it. - Cleaned, or swapped if your car has a serviceable one: your filter is sorted next. - Fresh diesel goes in, then the fuel system is primed. - First start on fresh diesel. Once priming is done, your engine is fired up and our technicians confirm that it runs properly. The car has new diesel running through it before our technicians leave. Long-term damage is very uncommon if it has been spotted soon, so the vehicle can go right back to normal use. ## After your fuel drain: back on the road in Bayton - Drive normally. There's nothing special to do after it's been started on clean fuel. - Watch the first miles. A warning light, smoke, a lumpy idle or a flat spot under your throttle means pull over then call us back. - The work may come up later with a hire firm, an insurer or a fleet manager. Keep the documents. - The handle's colour is not the thing to go by next time — the label on the pump is. ## About Bayton Bayton is a small village in Worcestershire, situated inland at an elevation of around 149 metres.
