Motor off. Leave the car like that — no moment on, no moving it at all. The next few minutes determine it far more than anything else: petrol in a diesel that has not run usually comes down to draining then cleaning, right there. From now on, step by step, for anywhere in Deepfields: ## Engine off: minute one with petrol in a diesel Work through these in order, first. - Priming the fuel system draws petrol from your tank toward the parts it damages, and switching the ignition on can be all it takes to do that. So your keys get taken out, and your ignition stays off altogether. - A bigger tank of the same mix is all adding diesel leaves you, since it takes out nothing. So no more diesel. - Get your car easy to see before anything else — hazard lights on — if there's moving traffic anywhere near you. - By hand, never on your engine: that is how it comes off the petrol pump. Get the forecourt attendants to help you roll, however short the distance. - Hold on to your receipt: the grade and the rough amount are printed on it, and they are what we ask about first. Still on the move when you realised? Come off the M6 at the next exit if that's where you are, under 5 miles from Deepfields, and pull over somewhere safe rather than pressing on to the services. Then start at step one. ## Has it run yet? The fork in each Deepfields fuel drain From this stage on, everything hinges on a single answer. If the engine hasn't run at all: - No place but the tank: that's where the petrol still is. - The job is a drain and a flush, usually done where the vehicle is. - Being here is as good as it gets — which is the entire point of stage one. If your motor has run, even briefly: - Some petrol has left that tank already, gone through the fuel filter, and reached your lines. - Your high-pressure pump as well as the injectors see it too on a bigger run. - The job grows with the mileage — lines flushed, filter sorted, sometimes more. That line falls there since diesel lubricates your high-pressure pump and your injectors on its way through them — and petrol does not. In your tank, sitting still, petrol harms nothing. Petrol being pumped is wearing the components that move it. ## Before you call about petrol in a diesel around Deepfields: what our engineers need A little planning is the difference between a technician that finds you and a technician that goes round. - The ideal start is a postcode — one beginning WV14 9 — for where you have stopped. - Give the street — Shaw Road or wherever you have stopped — or the car park. - What a car park serves is the easiest way to find it, and so say the landmark — such as the one at Asda. - That it's a diesel, along with the make and model of your vehicle. - Petrol or AdBlue? Say which. They are different jobs, and AdBlue has its own Deepfields page. - The amount: your receipt's litres, or otherwise how long you had the nozzle in. - The mileage it covered, and how hard, if it has run at all. - Sort who has the vehicle before our engineers turn up: some hire or company agreements want the owner to authorise this work, and that is faster first. Call 0333 366 0103 next. Writing to works too if it can wait, with the car parked at home, going nowhere. ## The wait for a Deepfields fuel drain, and what to do in it In the wait, the harm comes from kindly meant help — which is why these count. - Wait with the vehicle if it's safe where it is — but if it has stopped somewhere unsafe, you come first: away from the traffic, waiting apart from it. - Nobody — however kind — starts it, whether to see if it runs or to move your car a short way. - No additives. Two-stroke oil, injector cleaner, anything from the boot — none of that gets the petrol back out. - A DIY drain leaves the fuel that has already gone beyond that tank, and siphoning petrol by the road is risky besides. - Leave the ignition off — the windows and your radio too. ## The fuel drain, step by step, after the van arrives - Three questions. What went in, how much, and whether it has run. The answers decide this job, which is why the quote comes after them but not before. - Clearing it's how the mixture gets taken out of your tank. - Petrol that has moved beyond the tank travels in the fuel lines once it ran, and the fuel lines are flushed to clear it. - Cleared, or swapped if the car has a workable one: the filter is sorted next. - Clean diesel in, and the system primed. - The start-up. With clean diesel in and the fuel system bled, it's fired up and checked to be sure it runs correctly. Our engineers stay until it's running on fresh diesel. It's very uncommon for a vehicle spotted early to be left with lasting damage, and normal driving resumes straight away. ## Back on the road around Deepfields after the fuel drain - Nothing unusual is needed after a start with fresh diesel — ordinary driving will do. - Give the first miles your attention. Smoke showing, a warning light coming on, your idle going lumpy or the throttle hesitating: pull over and call us back. - The work may come up later with a hire firm, an insurer or a fleet manager. Hold on to the documents. - Read the label on the pump next time, not the colour of its handle. ## About Deepfields and where it is Deepfields is a suburban area located on the outskirts of Wolverhampton, near the lakeside and at an elevation of around 150 metres.
