Stop there. Petrol in a diesel that has not been run is normally a drain and a flush, done where the vehicle stands, and what you do in the coming few minutes settles that more than anything else. From here on, step by step, wherever you are around Cargo Fleet: ## Motor off: minute one with petrol in a diesel Work through these before anything else, in this order. - Pull the keys out. Even the ignition on its own can prime your fuel system, pulling petrol out of the tank to exactly the components it harms, so keep it alone wholly. - Topping up with diesel seems like it dilutes the issue. It does not: nothing gets out, and the tank simply carries more of the same. - Near moving traffic? Then the hazards come on before anything else, and so the vehicle is easy to spot. - The attendants will normally help you roll it clear of the pump. Ask, then move it by hand — not under your engine, even for a couple of yards. - Keep the till receipt. It shows which fuel was put in and about how much, which is the first thing we will ask. If you were still on the move when you noticed, stop somewhere safe rather than pushing on for the services — on the A1(M), under 15 miles from Cargo Fleet, that means the next exit. Step one follows. ## Cargo Fleet fuel drain: has your motor run yet, or not? What happens after this turns on one answer, and only one. If your engine has not run at all: - Only your tank has petrol in it for now. - Where the car stands is usually where this work is done: a drain, then a flush. - Being here is as good as it gets — which is the entire point of stage one. Motor run, however briefly? - Petrol has been pulled out of your tank, past your filter and into your lines. - Your high-pressure pump as well as the injectors see it too on a longer run. - Lines flushed, your filter dealt with, occasionally more: the job expands as the mileage does. The reason the line falls there: diesel protects the high-pressure fuel pump as well as your injectors as it passes through them, and petrol does not. Nothing is damaged by petrol that is only sitting in a tank. Move the petrol, though, and it wears the very parts that move it. ## Calling about petrol in a diesel from Cargo Fleet: what to have prepared Prepare a little, and the technician finds you rather than circling. - The best start is a postcode — one beginning TS3 8 — for where you have stopped. - The street or the car park. A road name helps — Dockside Road, or wherever you have stopped. - What a car park serves is the easiest way to find it, and so mention the landmark — such as the one outside The Food Warehouse. - The vehicle. Make, model, and that it's a diesel. - Tell us which got in — petrol or AdBlue — since AdBlue is a separate job, with a page of its own for Cargo Fleet. - The quantity: the receipt's litres, or otherwise how long you had the nozzle in. - Whether it has run. Then if it has, how far and how hard. - Settle who owns the vehicle ahead of when we get there: some hire or company agreements want the owner to approve this work, and doing it quicker first. Call 0333 366 0103 then. Writing to works too if it can wait, with the vehicle left at home, going nowhere. ## Whilst you wait for a fuel drain around Cargo Fleet The wait is where well-meant help does the damage. Stick to these. - Stay with the vehicle if it's safe where it is — but if it has stopped somewhere exposed, you come first: away from the traffic, waiting apart from it. - Nobody starts it. Not a passer-by being helpful, not to check it is all right, not to roll the car a few yards. - No additives. Two-stroke oil, injector cleaner, something from your boot — none of it takes the petrol back out. - Siphoning petrol into a can by the roadside is hazardous — and it still leaves whatever fuel has already gone beyond that tank. Don't drain the vehicle yourself. - Even your radio or the windows are not worth turning your ignition on for. ## Van arrived? The fuel drain, one stage at a time - Three queries. What went in, how much, and whether it has run. The replies set this job, which is why our quote comes after them but not before. - Out of that tank comes the polluted blend: your tank is emptied. - If it ran, the lines are carrying petrol that has shifted beyond that tank — so they're purged. - The fuel filter is dealt with. Cleared, or replaced where your car has a usable one. - Bleeding the system follows after clean diesel is in. - The first start on clean diesel. Once priming is finished, the engine is fired up and our engineers make sure that it runs properly. Till it runs on clean diesel, our technicians stay with it. It's very uncommon for a vehicle caught early to be left with long-term damage, and normal use starts again straight away. ## Back on the road around Cargo Fleet after your fuel drain - Nothing unusual is needed after a start with clean diesel — usual driving is all. - Give the first miles your attention. Smoke showing, a warning light coming on, your idle going lumpy or the throttle stumbling: pull over and ring us back. - An insurer, a fleet manager or a hire company may ask what was done, so keep your paperwork. - The handle's colour is not the guide to go by next time — the label on the petrol pump is. ## About Cargo Fleet and where it is Cargo Fleet is a small locality in North Yorkshire, situated near the coast and close to the nearby places of North Ormesby, Pallister, and Brambles Farm.
