Here Is What Happens Pause, then keep the engine off — not on, and not for a second to shift the car. The coming few minutes decide it more than anything else: petrol in a diesel that has not run usually comes down to emptying and cleaning, right there. Here's the sequence of things from here, anywhere you're in Camlough. ## Minute one: petrol in a diesel, motor off Work through these before anything else, in this sequence. - The ignition off, keys out. Turned on, the ignition can prime the system — and priming is what draws petrol out of your tank towards the parts it harms. - Do not top it up with diesel. Adding diesel takes out nothing. You are left with a fuller tank of the same mixture. - Close to passing traffic? Then the hazards go on before anything else, so your car is simple to spot. - Off the pump by hand. On a forecourt, ask the staff to help you push it away from the pump. Do not start the car to move it, however short the way. - Keep the receipt: the grade and the rough amount are printed on it, and they are what we ask for first. If you were still driving when you realised, stop somewhere safe instead of pushing on for the services — on the M77, over 50 miles from Camlough, that means the next exit. Step one follows. ## The fork in each Camlough fuel drain: has it run yet? One answer is what everything after this stage depends on. Engine never run at all? - Just that tank has petrol in it so far. - Where the vehicle sits is normally where this work happens: a drain, then a flush. - This is the best spot to be in, and the whole reason stage one counts. Run at all, however briefly: - Your lines and the filter already carry petrol pulled from that tank. - Run it farther and the petrol reaches your injectors, having gone through the fuel pump first. - The job expands with the miles — lines rinsed, filter sorted, occasionally more. The line falls there because diesel protects the high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors on its way through them — and petrol doesn't. Nothing is damaged by petrol that is only resting in a tank. Once it is pumped, petrol starts grinding whatever moves it. ## Camlough, petrol in a diesel: have these ready before you call A little preparation is the difference between a technician that finds you and a van that circles. - BT35 7 plus the remainder of the postcode makes the ideal way to begin telling us where you are. - The road or the car park. A road name helps — South Crescent, or wherever you have stopped. - What a car park serves is the easiest way to find it, so mention the landmark — such as the one outside the local shops. - That it's a diesel, plus the make and model of the vehicle. - Petrol or AdBlue? Say which. They are different jobs, and AdBlue has a separate Camlough page. - How much. Litres from the receipt, or how long the nozzle was in. - The mileage it covered, and how hard, if it ran at all. - Hire or company car? Some contracts want the owner's authorisation for the work, and sorting it before we turn up is faster than after. Next, 0333 366 0103. Not urgent, your car left at home with nowhere to be? Then will do as well. ## Waiting for a fuel drain around Camlough: what to do The wait is where well-intended help does the harm. Hold to these. - Your safety comes before the vehicle. Somewhere exposed? Get clear of the traffic then wait away from it. Safe where it sits? Wait with it. - Not to roll it a few yards, not to check it is all right, not for a passer-by's kindness: no one starts it. - Additives remain in the boot. Injector cleaner and two-stroke oil draw none of that petrol out again. - Clearing it yourself is out: a can of siphoned petrol on a verge is a danger, and your fuel beyond your tank remains where it is regardless. - Not for your radio, not for the windows: the ignition stays off. ## The fuel drain, step by step, after the van gets there - The price comes after three questions, not before them — what was put in, how much, and whether it has run — because those answers set this job. - That tank is emptied. The tainted mixture comes out of the tank. - If it ran, the fuel lines are carrying petrol that has shifted beyond that tank — so they are flushed. - Where the car has a serviceable filter, it is changed; if not, cleared. - Bleeding your system comes after clean diesel is in. - Our technicians start it only after fresh diesel has gone in and primed the fuel system, then make sure that it's running properly. Our engineers remain until it's running on clean diesel. Your car returns to normal use right away, and lasting damage is very rare when it has been spotted soon. ## After your fuel drain: back on the road in Camlough - Once it has been started on fresh fuel, there's nothing special to do: drive normally. - The first miles are the test. A warning lamp, exhaust smoke, a rough idle or a hesitant throttle is your cue to stop and ring us a second time. - An insurer, a fleet manager or a hire firm may ask what was carried out, and so hold on to the documents. - The handle's colour is not the guide to go by next time — the label on the petrol pump is. ## About Camlough and where it is Camlough is a locality situated in County Armagh, approximately 2.5 miles from Newry, and is characterised by semi-detached housing.
