Stop there. Hasn't been run? Then petrol in a diesel tends to be a straightforward drain-and-flush job wherever your vehicle has stopped — and no other factor settles that more than these next few minutes do. From here on, in order, for anywhere in Blakeley Green: ## Petrol in a diesel, motor off — the first minute Go through the following in order, first. - Take the keys out. Even the ignition by itself can prime your fuel system, drawing petrol out of the tank to precisely the components it harms, so keep the car alone completely. - No diesel on top. More fuel in takes away none of that petrol — it only leaves you with extra of the same blend. - Being seen comes before the rest near moving traffic: put the hazards on, and only then think about anything else. - However short the distance, starting it to move it is the thing to avoid. On a forecourt, push the vehicle away from the petrol pump by hand instead, and ask the attendants to lend a hand. - Keep the till receipt. It shows which fuel got in and roughly how much, which is the first thing we will ask. Noticed on the move? Get off at the next exit if you are on the M54, under 3 miles from Blakeley Green, and pull over somewhere sensible — not at the services further on. Step one starts after that. ## Blakeley Green fuel drain: has your motor run yet, or not? Everything after this point depends on one answer. Engine never run at all? - Only your tank has petrol in it so far. - Where the vehicle stands is normally where the work is done: a drain, then a flush. - Step one matters for precisely this reason: it is the best spot to be in. Run at all, even for a second: - Petrol has been pulled from that tank, through the filter and into your lines. - Your high-pressure pump as well as the injectors see it too on a longer run. - Flushing the lines, the filter seen to, and sometimes more: the job grows as the miles does. That line falls there since diesel lubricates the high-pressure fuel pump and your injectors on its way through them — and petrol doesn't. In that tank, left alone, petrol does no harm. Petrol being pumped is grinding down the parts that move the vehicle. ## What to have prepared when you call about petrol in a diesel from Blakeley Green Whether the van goes round or finds you depends on a little planning. - WV6 9 plus the remainder of the postcode makes the best way to begin telling us where you are. - Wherever you have parked, the road's name is useful — whether that is Blakeley Avenue or somewhere else — and so does the name of a car park. - Or the nearest landmark. A car park is easier to find by what it serves, such as the one at Morrisons. - The make and model of the vehicle, and the fact it is a diesel. - Which got in matters: AdBlue is a separate job from petrol, and Blakeley Green has a page just for that. So tell us. - How much. Litres from the receipt, or how long the nozzle was in. - If it's run, how far and how hard — and whether it's run at all. - The owner may have to authorise this work under some hire and company contracts — which is why it is faster to settle whose car it is before we get there. Next, 0333 366 0103. Not time-critical, the vehicle parked at home with nowhere to be? Then will do too. ## While you wait for a fuel drain around Blakeley Green Stick to these: well-meant help causes the harm during the wait. - Where the vehicle has stopped decides where you wait. Somewhere exposed: away from it, away from the traffic. Sensible: with it. Either way, safety ahead of the car. - No one — however kind — starts it, whether to see if it runs or to shift the vehicle a short way. - Anything from the boot, oil meant for two-strokes or injector cleaner: no additive lifts the petrol. - Emptying it yourself is not the answer: a can of siphoned petrol on a verge is a danger, and the fuel beyond that tank stays put all the same. - The ignition remains off. Even for your radio or the windows. ## When our van gets there: the fuel drain, step by step - First, three questions: which fuel went in, the volume, and has it run? Those answers decide this job, so our quote follows them. - That tank is drained. The tainted blend comes from that tank. - The lines are cleaned. If it ran, that petrol has shifted beyond your tank, and your lines are holding it. - Cleaned, or swapped if the car has a usable one: the filter is sorted next. - The system is primed with fresh diesel. - Starting the car. Once your system is bled with fresh diesel, our engineers start the car and check it runs properly. Your car has new diesel running through it before our engineers head off. Long-term damage is very uncommon if it has been spotted soon, so your car can go right back to normal use. ## Blakeley Green, after the fuel drain: back on the road - Started on new diesel, it asks nothing unusual of you. Simply drive normally. - Give the first miles your attention. Smoke appearing, a warning light coming on, your idle going lumpy or your throttle hesitating: pull over and ring us back. - An insurer, a fleet manager or a hire firm may ask what was carried out, so hold on to the documents. - Next time, read the petrol pump. The label, not the colour of its handle. ## About Blakeley Green and where it is Blakeley Green is a suburban area located on the outskirts of Wolverhampton, near the River Tame, with an elevation of around 125 metres.
