Motor off. Keep the vehicle that way — no moment on, no shifting it at all. The coming few minutes decide it more than anything else: petrol in a diesel still unrun normally comes down to clearing then purging, right there. From now on, in order, wherever you are around Brockhill: ## Petrol in a diesel? What to do in minute one Work through these before anything else, in this sequence. - Pull the keys out. Even your ignition by itself can prime the system, drawing petrol out of your tank to precisely the components it damages, so keep the vehicle off completely. - A bigger tank of the same mixture is all adding diesel gives you, since it takes out nothing. So no extra diesel. - Being seen comes first beside moving traffic: switch the hazard lights on, and only then deal with anything else. - The staff will usually help you roll it away from the petrol pump. Let them, then roll it by hand — never on your engine, even for a few yards. - Which fuel, and roughly how much? The receipt answers that, and that's where our first question starts. Do not bin it. Still on the move when you realised? Come off the M4 at the next junction if that is where you are, under 5 miles from Brockhill, and pull over somewhere sensible instead of pushing on to the services. Then begin at step one. ## Has it run yet? The fork in each Brockhill fuel drain From this point on, everything hinges on a single answer. Engine never run at all? - All the petrol sits inside that tank, and only there. - Usually it's drained and purged right where the vehicle stands. - No place is better, and it's why the first step counts so much. If your engine has run, even for a moment: - The lines and your filter already carry petrol drawn from the tank. - A longer run takes it right through to the high-pressure pump and your injectors. - The job grows with the mileage — lines purged, filter seen to, sometimes more. Petrol does not lubricate. Diesel does, protecting your high-pressure pump and injectors as it flows through, which is why the line sits where it does. A tank of petrol, left alone, hurts nothing. Move that petrol, though, and it wears the very parts doing the moving. ## What to have ready when you call about petrol in a diesel from Brockhill Whether the van circles or finds you depends on a little planning. - The best start is a postcode — one beginning RG42 6 — for where you are. - Wherever you have parked, the road's name helps — whether that's Bracknell Road or somewhere else — and so does the name of a car park. - Or the landmark. A car park is quicker to find by what it serves, such as the one outside Tesco. - Tell us what your vehicle is — make, model — and confirm it's diesel. - What went in. Petrol, or AdBlue. AdBlue is a different job with its own page for Brockhill, so tell us which. - The quantity: the receipt's litres, or otherwise how long you had the nozzle in. - If it has run, how far and how hard — as well as whether it's run at all. - Hire or company car? Some contracts need the owner's authorisation for this work, and getting it before we turn up is quicker than after. Then phone 0333 366 0103. If it can wait — the car is at home and going nowhere — works too. ## The wait for a Brockhill fuel drain, and what to do in it Help, however well meant, is the thing that does the damage while you wait. So stick to these. - Safety before the vehicle. If it has stopped somewhere unsafe, get yourself clear of the traffic and wait away from it. If it's safe where it is, wait with it. - A kind passer-by does not crank it. Nor does anyone wanting to check it still does the trick, or moving it a few yards. - Additives remain in the boot. Injector cleaner and two-stroke oil take none of the petrol out a second time. - No DIY emptying. Siphoning petrol into a can by the roadside is dangerous, and it leaves the fuel that has already gone beyond the tank. - Not for your radio, not for the windows: the ignition stays off. ## Step by step: the fuel drain when the van gets there - Three queries. What went in, how much, and whether it's run. The answers set the job, which is why our quote comes after them but not before. - Your tank is cleared. The polluted blend comes out of your tank. - The fuel lines are flushed. If it ran, that petrol has moved beyond the tank, and your lines are carrying it. - Where the car has a usable filter, it's replaced; if not, cleared. - The system is primed on fresh diesel. - The first start on new diesel. Once bleeding is done, the engine is started and we check that it runs properly. Our engineers stay until it is running on clean diesel. It's very unusual for a vehicle spotted quickly to be left with permanent damage, and normal use starts again straight away. ## Back on the road in Brockhill after the fuel drain - Started on fresh diesel, it needs nothing unusual of you. Simply drive normally. - Pull over and ring us back if anything seems wrong early on — a light on your dash, smoke from your exhaust, an idle that runs rough, or a throttle with a dead spot. - An insurer, a fleet manager or a hire firm may ask what was done, so keep the documents. - Next time, go by the petrol pump's label rather than the colour of its handle. ## About Brockhill Brockhill is a small village in Berkshire, situated on the riverside at an elevation of 64 metres.
