Here Is What Happens Not for a moment, and not to move it: your motor stays off. Stop there. Hasn't been run? Then petrol in a diesel tends to be a simple drain-and-flush job wherever the vehicle has stopped — and no other factor decides that as much as the next few minutes do. Here is the sequence of things from now, anywhere you're around Berry Hill. ## Minute one: petrol in a diesel, motor off In this sequence, and before anything else: - Pull the keys out. Even your ignition on its own can prime the system, pulling petrol out of your tank to exactly the parts it damages, and so keep the vehicle off completely. - A fuller tank of the same mixture is all adding diesel gives you, since it takes out nothing. So no extra diesel. - Near moving traffic? Then the hazard lights go on before everything else, so the car is easy to spot. - By hand, not on the motor: that is how it comes off the petrol pump. Ask the forecourt attendants to help you push, however short the mileage. - Hold on to the till receipt: the fuel and the rough amount are written on it, and they're what our technicians ask for first. Realised on the move? Get off at the next exit if you're on the M5, under 3 miles from Berry Hill, and pull over somewhere safe — not at the services farther on. Stage one comes after that. ## Berry Hill fuel drain: has your engine run yet, or not? From this point on, everything comes down to a single answer. If it has not once been started: - Just your tank has petrol in it for now. - Where your car stands is usually where the work happens: a drain, then a flush. - No place is better, and it's why the first step counts so much. If the motor has run, even for a moment: - Petrol has been pulled from that tank, past your filter then into the lines. - A bigger run carries it all the way to your high-pressure pump and the injectors. - Distance is what makes it a larger job: the lines flushed, a filter seen to, and at times more than that. The reason the line falls there: diesel protects your high-pressure pump and your injectors as it passes through them, and petrol does not. In your tank, left alone, petrol harms nothing. Move the petrol, though, and it wears the very parts that move it. ## What to have ready when you call about petrol in a diesel from Berry Hill Whether the van circles or finds you comes down to a little preparation. - Your location: a postcode starting WR9 9 works best. - Wherever you have pulled up, the road's name is useful — whether that is Drovers Way or somewhere else — and so does the name of a car park. - Name a car park by what it serves — the one at B&M Stores, for instance — and it's much quicker to find. - That it is a diesel, plus the make and model of your vehicle. - Which went in counts: AdBlue is a separate job from petrol, and Berry Hill has a page just for that. So tell us. - How long the nozzle was in, or the litres from the receipt — whichever gives us how much. - If it has run, how far and how hard — and if it has run at all. - Sort who has your car before we turn up: some hire or company contracts want the owner to authorise this work, and doing it faster beforehand. Ring 0333 366 0103 once you've got that together — or, if the vehicle is at home, going nowhere, use . ## Whilst you wait for a fuel drain in Berry Hill Hold to these: well-meant help causes the damage during the wait. - Safety before the car. If it has stopped somewhere exposed, get yourself clear of the traffic and wait away from it. If it's safe where it sits, stay with it. - A helpful passer-by does not crank it. Nor does anyone checking it still does the trick, or moving it a few yards. - None of that takes the petrol back out — not two-stroke oil, not injector cleaner, not anything from your boot. So no additives. - A home-made drain leaves your fuel that has already gone beyond your tank, and siphoning petrol by the road is hazardous too. - Keep your ignition off — your windows and the radio too. ## Step by step: your fuel drain when the van arrives - Three questions. What got in, how much, and whether it has run. The replies shape the job, which is why our price comes after them but not before. - The tank is emptied. The contaminated mixture comes from that tank. - Rinsing the lines comes next, because a car that ran has petrol past that tank, in the fuel lines themselves. - The filter is dealt with. Cleared, or swapped where your car has a serviceable one. - The fuel system is primed with clean diesel. - Starting up. Once the system is primed with clean diesel, we start it and confirm it runs properly. The vehicle has new diesel running through it before our engineers go. Long-term damage is very uncommon if it has been noticed early, so your car can go straight back to normal driving. ## Berry Hill, after your fuel drain: back on the road - Drive normally. There is nothing special to do after it's been started on clean fuel. - Pull over and ring us back if anything looks wrong early on — a light on your dash, smoke from your exhaust, an idle that runs rough, or a throttle with a dead spot. - The paperwork answers the question a rental company, fleet manager or insurer may ask: what work was carried out. File it. - Next time, go by the pump's label instead of the colour of its handle. ## About Berry Hill and where it is Berry Hill is a suburban area in Worcestershire, situated on the riverside with an elevation of 39 metres, and is located near the city of Worcester.
