Motor off. Keep it like that — no moment on, no moving it anywhere. Hasn't been run? Then petrol in a diesel will usually be a simple drain-and-flush job wherever your vehicle has stopped — and no other factor decides that more than the next few minutes do. Here's the order of things from now, anywhere you are in Broomridge. ## Motor off: minute one with petrol in a diesel In this order, all before anything else: - Take the keys out. Even your ignition on its own can prime the system, pulling petrol out of your tank to exactly the components it damages, so keep it off entirely. - A fuller tank of the same mixture is all adding diesel leaves you, because it takes out nothing. So no extra diesel. - Near moving traffic? Then the hazard lights come on before anything else, so the vehicle is easy to spot. - However short the way, starting it to shift it is the mistake. At a forecourt, push the vehicle away from the pump by hand instead, then ask the staff to lend a hand. - Which fuel, and about how much? Your receipt answers both, and that is where our questions start. Don't bin it. On the M9, under 3 miles from Broomridge, the next exit is the place to leave it; elsewhere, the first sensible place to stop. Don't push on to the services. Then go back to step one. ## The fork in each Broomridge fuel drain: has it run yet? From this stage on, everything hinges on a single answer. If it has never been started: - Nowhere but that tank: that's where that petrol yet is. - The work is a simple drain and a flush, normally done where the vehicle is. - Being here is as good as it gets — which is the entire point of step one. If it has been started, even for a moment: - Some petrol has left that tank already, passed through the fuel filter, and reached the lines. - Run it farther and the petrol reaches the injectors, having passed through the pump first. - Lines flushed, the filter dealt with, and sometimes more: the job expands as the mileage does. Petrol doesn't lubricate. Diesel does, protecting your high-pressure pump and injectors as it passes through, which is why the line falls where it does. Nothing is harmed by petrol that's just waiting in a tank. Once it is pumped, petrol starts wearing whatever moves it. ## Broomridge, petrol in a diesel: have these prepared before you call A little preparation is the difference between a technician that finds you and a technician that circles. - Your location: a postcode starting FK7 7 serves best. - Wherever you have pulled up, the road's name is useful — whether that is Barbour Avenue or somewhere else — and so does the name of a car park. - Car parks are found more easily by what they serve: say the one at Lidl, and it is simple. - That it's a diesel, plus the make and model of your car. - What went in. Petrol, or AdBlue. AdBlue is a separate job with its own page for Broomridge, so tell us which. - How long the nozzle was in, or the litres from your receipt — either gives us how much. - Has it run? If so, tell us how far it got, and the way it was driven. - Whose vehicle it is. Some hire or company agreements want the owner to authorise the work, and that's quicker settled before we arrive than after. Phone 0333 366 0103 next. Email is fine too if it can wait, with the vehicle left at home, going nowhere. ## Broomridge fuel drain on its way? While you wait In the wait, the harm comes from well-intended help — which is why these count. - Safety before your car. If it has stopped somewhere dangerous, get yourself clear of the traffic and wait away from it. If it is safe where it is, wait with it. - Not to roll it a couple of yards, not to check it is all right, not for a passer-by's favour: nobody starts it. - None of that gets that petrol back out — not two-stroke oil, not injector cleaner, not something from the boot. So no additives. - A home-made drain leaves the fuel that has already gone beyond that tank, and siphoning petrol by the road is dangerous too. - Leave your ignition off — your windows and the radio too. ## Van arrived? The fuel drain, one step at a time - Fuel, quantity, whether it's run: the answers set the job, and that is why we give a quote after them instead of before. - Next the tank is cleared, and the tainted fuel comes out. - The fuel lines are cleaned. If it ran, that petrol has moved beyond the tank, and the lines are carrying it. - The filter is sorted. Cleared, or swapped where the vehicle has a serviceable one. - Clean diesel in, and the system primed. - The first start on new diesel. When bleeding is done, the engine is started and our technicians check that it runs smoothly. Until it runs on clean diesel, we stay with it. It is very unusual for a vehicle spotted soon to be left with long-term damage, and normal use resumes straight away. ## Once your fuel drain is done: driving in Broomridge again - Started on clean diesel, it asks nothing unusual of you. Just drive normally. - Pull over and call us back if anything seems wrong early on — a light on the dash, smoke from the exhaust, an idle that runs rough, or a throttle with a dead spot. - Hold on to the paperwork. A hire firm, a fleet manager or an insurer may ask what was done. - Next time, read the petrol pump. The label, not the colour of its handle. ## About Broomridge and where it is Broomridge is a suburban area located on the outskirts of Stirling, situated near the River Forth at an elevation of 21 metres.
