Pause; leave the vehicle off. Cleared then purged, right where it sits: that's normally all an unrun diesel with petrol in it needs. Whether it stays that straightforward rests on the minutes ahead more than on anything else. Anywhere you are in Broom Hill, here is how things run from here. ## Petrol in a diesel, engine off — the first minute In this sequence, and before anything else: - Keys out of your ignition. Switching the ignition on can be enough to prime your fuel system, while priming draws petrol out of your tank towards the parts it harms. Keep it off completely. - No diesel on top. More fuel in removes none of that petrol — it just leaves you with extra of the same blend. - Being seen comes first near moving traffic: switch the hazard lights on, and only then deal with everything else. - The staff will generally help you roll it clear of the petrol pump. Ask, then move it by hand — never under the engine, even for a few yards. - Which fuel, and about how much? Your receipt replies both, and that is where our questions start. Do not bin it. Realised on the move? Get off at the next exit if you're on the A1(M), under 15 miles from Broom Hill, and stop somewhere safe — not at the services further on. Stage one comes after that. ## Each Broom Hill fuel drain starts here: has your motor run? What happens after this turns on one answer, and only one. If it has never been started: - Nowhere but the tank: that is where that petrol still is. - Normally it is emptied and purged right where the vehicle is. - No place is better, and it's why the first step counts so much. Motor run, even briefly? - Some petrol has left the tank by now, gone through your filter, and got into the lines. - Run it further and that petrol gets to the fuel injectors, having passed through your fuel pump first. - The further it went, the bigger the job — your lines, your filter, and now and then more besides. Diesel keeps the high-pressure pump and your injectors protected as it runs through them. Petrol gives them nothing, and that's why the line is drawn there. Nothing is harmed by petrol that's only waiting in a tank. The parts that shift it are grinding the moment petrol is being pumped. ## Before you call about petrol in a diesel in Broom Hill: what our technicians need A van that circles against a technician that finds you: a little planning is the difference. - The ideal start is a postcode — one starting TS17 5 — for where you have stopped. - A road name helps: Broom Hill Avenue, say, or whichever street you've stopped in. A car park works too. - Car parks are found more easily by what they serve: tell us the one at Co-op Food, and it is easy. - Make and model of your vehicle, and the fact it is a diesel. - Tell us which got in — petrol or AdBlue — since AdBlue is a separate job, with a page of its own for Broom Hill. - Roughly how much — in litres from your receipt, or by how long the nozzle stayed in. - Has it run? If so, tell us how far it went, and how it was driven. - The owner may have to approve the work under some hire and company contracts — which is why it is quicker to settle whose vehicle it is before our technicians arrive. Then ring 0333 366 0103. If it can wait — your car is at home and going nowhere — works as well. ## Broom Hill fuel drain on its way? While you wait The wait is where well-meant help does the harm. Hold to these. - Where the vehicle has stopped settles where you wait. Exposed: away from it, away from the traffic. Sensible: with it. Either way, safety ahead of your car. - No one starts it. Not a passer-by being kind, not to check it is all right, not to roll the vehicle a couple of yards. - No additives. Two-stroke oil, injector cleaner, anything from the boot — none of that gets that petrol back out. - A home-made drain misses the fuel already gone beyond that tank, and siphoning petrol by the road is dangerous too. - Even your radio or your windows aren't worth turning the ignition on for. ## Step by step: your fuel drain when our van gets there - Fuel, amount, whether it's run: those replies decide the job, and that's why we give a price after them rather than before. - Clearing it's how that mixture gets taken out of the tank. - Cleaning your lines follows, since a motor that ran has petrol past that tank, in the lines themselves. - Then your filter: replaced where there is a serviceable one, cleared where there's not. - Clean diesel goes in, and the system is primed. - The start-up. With fresh diesel in and the fuel system primed, it's started and tested to confirm it runs smoothly. The car has clean diesel running through it before we head off. When it has been caught soon, permanent damage is very rare, and the vehicle goes back to normal use at once. ## Once your fuel drain is done: driving in Broom Hill a second time - After it's been started on clean fuel, there's nothing special to do: drive normally. - Watch the first miles. A warning light, smoke, a lumpy idle or a flat spot under the throttle means pull over and call us back. - An insurer, a fleet manager or a hire firm may ask what was carried out, so keep the documents. - Next time, trust the petrol pump's label rather than the colour of its handle. ## About Broom Hill Broom Hill is a suburban area located on the riverside in North Yorkshire, with an elevation of 32 metres.
