Motor off. Leave the vehicle that way — no second on, no moving it at all. The next few minutes decide it more than anything else: petrol in a diesel that has not run normally amounts to emptying and rinsing, right there. Here's the order of things from now, anywhere you're around Chapel House. ## Petrol in a diesel, engine off — the first minute Go through the following in order, first. - The ignition off, keys out. Turned on, your ignition can prime your system — and priming is what draws petrol out of the tank towards the parts it harms. - Topping up with diesel sounds like it dilutes the trouble. It doesn't: nothing comes out, and that tank simply carries more of the same. - Visibility comes before the rest beside moving traffic: switch your hazards on, and only then think about anything else. - The staff will usually help you push it away from the petrol pump. Let them, and roll it by hand — not on the motor, even for a few yards. - The first question we will ask is which fuel you put in and about how much — and the till receipt shows both. Hold on to it. Still driving when you realised? Come off the M58 at the next exit if that's where you are, under a mile from Chapel House, and pull over somewhere sensible rather than pressing on to the services. Then begin at step one. ## Every Chapel House fuel drain starts here: has your motor run? From this stage on, everything hinges on a single answer. If your engine hasn't run at all: - No place but your tank: that is where the petrol still is. - Usually it's drained and rinsed right where your car stands. - This, here, is the best position to be in, and the whole reason step one counts. Engine run, however for a moment? - Petrol has been pulled from the tank, past the fuel filter then into your lines. - On a longer run it has got to your high-pressure pump as well as the fuel injectors. - The farther it went, the bigger the job — the fuel lines, the filter, and sometimes more besides. The reason the line falls there: diesel lubricates the high-pressure pump as well as the injectors as it flows through them, and petrol does not. Nothing is harmed by petrol that's just resting in a tank. The components that move it are wearing the moment petrol is being pumped. ## Before you call about petrol in a diesel around Chapel House: what we need A little planning is the difference between a van that finds you and a technician that goes round. - Your location: a postcode starting WN8 8 serves best. - Wherever you have parked, the road's name helps — whether that is Lancaster Crescent 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 Aldi, and it is straightforward. - The car. Make, model, and that it's a diesel. - What got in. Petrol, or AdBlue. AdBlue is a separate job with its own page for Chapel House, and so say which. - How long the nozzle was in, or the litres from your receipt — either tells us how much. - If it's run, how far plus how heavily — and whether it's run at all. - The owner may have to approve this work under some hire or company agreements — which is why it is faster to settle whose motor it is before our engineers get there. Call 0333 366 0103 once you have got that together — or, if the vehicle is at home, going nowhere, use . ## Chapel House fuel drain on its way? Whilst you wait Hold to these: well-intended help does the harm during the wait. - Your safety comes before your car. Somewhere dangerous? Get away from the traffic then wait away from it. Safe where it is? Wait with it. - A helpful passer-by does not start it. Nor does anybody wanting to check it still does the trick, or moving it a couple of yards. - No additives. Two-stroke oil, injector cleaner, something from the boot — none of that takes the petrol back out. - Emptying it yourself is not the answer: a can of siphoned petrol on a verge is a danger, and the fuel beyond the tank remains where it is regardless. - Even the radio or the windows are not worth turning the ignition on for. ## Van arrived? Your fuel drain, one stage at a time - First, three questions: which fuel was put in, the quantity, and has it run? Those replies decide the job, so our quote follows them. - Clearing it's how the blend gets taken out of that tank. - If it ran, your lines are carrying petrol that has moved beyond that tank — so they're cleaned. - Then your filter: changed where there is a serviceable one, cleared where there's not. - Bleeding your system follows after clean diesel is in. - Starting it. Once the system is primed with fresh diesel, our engineers fire it up and confirm it runs properly. Until it runs on fresh diesel, our technicians remain with it. If it has been spotted quickly, permanent damage is very unusual, and your car returns to normal use right away. ## Back on the road in Chapel House after your fuel drain - Nothing special is needed after a start with fresh diesel — usual driving is all. - The first miles are the test. A warning lamp, exhaust smoke, a rough idle or a hesitant throttle is your cue to stop then call us again. - The work may come up later with a hire company, an insurer or a fleet manager. Hold on to the paperwork. - Check the label on the petrol pump next time, not the colour of the handle. ## About Chapel House, briefly Chapel House is a suburban area in Lancashire, situated on the riverside with an elevation of 63 metres.
