Has not been run? Then petrol in a diesel tends to be a simple drain-and-flush job wherever the vehicle has stopped — and nothing decides that as much as these next few minutes do. Here's the order of things from here, wherever you are in Corby Glen. ## Petrol in a diesel? What to do in minute one In this order, all before anything else: - The ignition off, keys out. Switched on, the ignition can prime your system — and priming is what draws petrol out of the tank towards the components it damages. - A bigger tank of the same mixture is all adding diesel gives you, because it removes nothing. So no more diesel. - Hazard lights on. If you are anywhere near moving traffic, make the vehicle simple to see before you do anything else. - Off the pump by hand. On a forecourt, get the attendants to help you roll the car away from the pump. Don't start it to shift it, however short the way. - Keep the receipt: the fuel and the rough amount are written on it, and they're what our technicians ask for first. Realised on the move? Get off at the next junction if you're on the Great North Road, under 25 miles from Corby Glen, and stop somewhere safe — not at the services further on. Stage one comes after that. ## The fork in every Corby Glen fuel drain: has it run yet? From this stage on, everything comes down to a single answer. Engine not run at all? - The petrol sits in the tank, and just there. - Normally it is drained and rinsed right where your car stands. - Stage one counts for exactly this reason: it is the best place to be in. Motor run, even briefly? - Petrol has been drawn from your tank, past the fuel filter and into your lines. - A longer run carries it right through to the high-pressure pump and the injectors. - Mileage is what makes it a larger job: the lines flushed, a filter seen to, and at times more than that. The line falls there because diesel lubricates the high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors on its way through them — and petrol doesn't. A tank of petrol, left alone, damages nothing. The components that shift it are grinding the moment petrol is being pumped. ## Corby Glen, petrol in a diesel: have these prepared before you call Get ready a little, and the van finds you instead of circling. - Your whereabouts: a postcode starting NG33 4 serves best. - Wherever you have parked, the road's name is useful — whether that is Moreley's Lane or somewhere else — and so does the name of a car park. - What a car park serves is the quickest way to find it, so say the landmark — like the one outside The Co-operative Food. - Tell us what the car is — make, model — and check it is diesel. - Tell us which was put in — petrol or AdBlue — because AdBlue is a separate job, with a page of its own for Corby Glen. - How much. Litres from your receipt, or how long the nozzle was in. - Has it run? If so, say how far it went, and how it was driven. - Hire or company car? Some contracts want the owner's go-ahead for the work, and getting it before our engineers turn up is quicker than after. Phone 0333 366 0103 once you've got that together — or, if the vehicle is at home, going nowhere, use . ## Corby Glen fuel drain on its way? Whilst you wait Stick to these: kindly meant help does the harm during the wait. - Wait with the car if it's safe where it is — but if it has stopped somewhere dangerous, you come first: away from the traffic, waiting apart from it. - Nobody — however kind — starts it, whether to see if it runs or to shift your car a short way. - None of it takes the petrol back out — not two-stroke oil, not injector cleaner, not something from the boot. So no additives. - Clearing it yourself is not the answer: a can of siphoned petrol on a verge is a danger, and your fuel beyond that tank stays put regardless. - Not for your radio, not for your windows: the ignition stays off. ## Van arrived? The fuel drain, one step at a time - First, three questions: which fuel went in, the quantity, and has it run? Those answers decide this job, so the quote follows them. - Clearing it's how that mixture gets taken from that tank. - Petrol that has moved beyond your tank sits in the fuel lines once it ran, and the fuel lines are rinsed to clear it. - Then the fuel filter: swapped where there is a workable one, cleared where there's not. - Fresh diesel in, and your system primed. - The first start on clean diesel. Once bleeding is complete, the motor is fired up and our engineers check that it runs smoothly. The vehicle has fresh diesel running through it before we leave. If it has been caught early, lasting damage is very unusual, and the car goes back to normal driving right away. ## After your fuel drain: back on the road around Corby Glen - Nothing special is needed after a start with fresh diesel — normal driving is all. - Pull over and call us back if anything seems wrong early on — a light on your dash, smoke from your exhaust, an idle that runs rough, or a throttle with a dead spot. - The documents covers the query a rental company, fleet manager or insurer may ask: what work was carried out. Keep it. - Read the label on the petrol pump next time, not the colour of its handle. ## About Corby Glen itself Corby Glen is a village in southern Lincolnshire, situated near the River Glen and surrounded by rolling countryside.
