Motor off. Leave it that way — no second on, no moving it anywhere. Has not been run? Then petrol in a diesel will usually 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. Wherever you happen to be in Bryn-Llwyd, here is the order things go from here. ## Minute one: petrol in a diesel, motor off Work through the following before anything else, in this sequence. - Take the keys out. Even the ignition by itself can prime the fuel system, drawing petrol out of your tank to precisely the parts it harms, and so keep the car off entirely. - A bigger tank of the same mixture is all adding diesel leaves you, since it takes out nothing. So no extra diesel. - Being seen comes before the rest near moving traffic: put your hazards on, and only then think about everything else. - However short the distance, starting it to shift it is the mistake. On a forecourt, roll it away from the petrol pump by hand instead, and ask the staff to help. - Keep the receipt. It says which fuel went in plus roughly how much, which is the first thing we'll ask. Still driving when you realised? Come off the Moreton Spur at the next exit if that's where you are, under 50 miles from Bryn-Llwyd, and pull over somewhere safe instead of pushing on to the services. Then start at stage one. ## Bryn-Llwyd fuel drain: has your engine run yet, or not? Everything after this point rests on one answer. Not run, not even briefly: - No place but your tank: that's where the petrol still is. - A drain and flush, on the spot, is normally all of that. - Step one matters for precisely this reason: it is the best position to be in. If it's been started, even for a second: - Out of your tank, through the fuel filter, into your lines: that's how far that petrol has got. - Run it farther and the petrol gets to your injectors, having passed through your fuel pump first. - Lines flushed, your filter sorted, and sometimes more: the job grows as the distance does. The reason the line falls there: diesel lubricates your high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors as it flows through them, and petrol does not. Nothing is damaged by petrol that is just waiting in a tank. Pump the petrol, though, and it wears the very parts doing the moving. ## Calling about petrol in a diesel from Bryn-Llwyd: what to have prepared A little planning is the difference between a van that finds you and a van that circles. - LL57 4 plus the remainder of the postcode is the best way to start telling us where you are. - A road name is a help: Bryn Llwyd Bungalows, say, or whatever street you have stopped in. A car park does the trick too. - What a car park serves is the easiest way to find it, and so say the landmark — such as the one outside Aldi. - Say what your vehicle is — make, model — and check it is diesel. - Petrol or AdBlue? Say which. They are separate jobs, and AdBlue has its own Bryn-Llwyd page. - How much. Litres from the receipt, or how long the nozzle was in. - Has it run? If so, tell us how far it got, and how it was driven. - Whose car it is. Some hire and company agreements want the owner to authorise this work, and that's quicker settled before our technicians turn up than after. Next, 0333 366 0103. Not pressing, the vehicle left at home with nowhere to be? Then works as well. ## The wait for a Bryn-Llwyd fuel drain, and what to do in it Help, however well meant, is what does the harm whilst you wait. So hold to these. - Your safety comes before your car. Somewhere exposed? Get away from the traffic then wait away from it. Safe where it is? Wait with it. - A kind passer-by does not crank it. Nor does anyone wanting to check it still works, or moving it a few yards. - Something from the boot, oil meant for two-strokes or injector cleaner: no additive lifts that petrol. - Siphoning petrol into a can by the kerbside is hazardous — and it still leaves whatever fuel has already gone beyond the tank. Do not try a home-made drain. - Even your radio or your windows are not worth turning the ignition on for. ## Van arrived? Your fuel drain, one step at a time - First, three queries: which fuel was put in, the quantity, and has it run? Those replies set the job, so our quote follows them. - Draining it is how that blend gets taken from your tank. - Petrol that has shifted beyond that tank sits in your lines once it ran, and the fuel lines are cleaned to shift it. - The fuel filter is seen to. Cleared, or changed where your car has a serviceable one. - Fresh diesel goes in, and your system is primed. - Starting up. Once the fuel system is primed with new diesel, we start the car and make sure it runs correctly. We stay until it's running on new diesel. The car returns to normal use straight away, and permanent damage is very unusual if it has been spotted soon. ## After your fuel drain: back on the road around Bryn-Llwyd - After it has been started on clean fuel, there's nothing unusual to do: drive normally. - Give the first miles your attention. Smoke showing, a warning light coming on, your idle going lumpy or your throttle hesitating: pull over and call us back. - The work may come up later with a hire firm, an insurer or a fleet manager. Keep the documents. - Next time, check the petrol pump. The label, not the colour of the handle. ## About Bryn-Llwyd Bryn-Llwyd is a suburban area situated on the coast of north Wales, near the city of Bangor.
