Motor off. Keep the vehicle that way — no second on, no shifting it anywhere. The coming few minutes determine it far more than anything else: petrol in a diesel that has not run normally comes down to emptying and purging, right there. Here is the order of things from now, anywhere you are around Doncaster Common. ## Minute one: petrol in a diesel, motor off Go through the following in order, before you do anything else. - Ignition off, keys out. Turned on, your ignition can prime your system — and priming is what moves petrol out of the tank into the parts it damages. - A fuller tank of the same mixture is all adding diesel gives you, since it takes out nothing. So no extra diesel. - Being seen comes first beside moving traffic: put the hazard lights on, and only then deal with anything else. - By hand, never on the motor: that is how it leaves the pump. Ask the forecourt staff to help you push, whatever the distance. - The first question we will ask is which fuel you put in and about how much — and your receipt shows both. Keep it. Noticed on the move? Get off at the next exit if you are on the M18, under 3 miles from Doncaster Common, and pull over somewhere sensible — not at the services further on. Stage one comes after that. ## Every Doncaster Common fuel drain starts here: has your engine run? From this stage on, everything comes down to a single answer. If the motor has not run at all: - Just the tank has petrol in it for now. - Usually it is drained and purged right where the car is. - This, here, is the best position to be in, and the reason step one matters. If it's been started, even for a moment: - Your lines and the fuel filter now hold petrol pulled out of that tank. - A bigger run takes it all the way to the high-pressure pump and your injectors. - Lines flushed, the filter sorted, and sometimes more: this job expands as the miles does. Diesel keeps your high-pressure pump and the injectors lubricated as it runs through them. Petrol gives them nothing, and that's why the line is drawn there. Petrol sitting in a tank damages nothing. Pump the petrol, though, and it grinds down the very parts that move it. ## Before you call about petrol in a diesel around Doncaster Common: what we need Prepare a little, and the technician finds you rather than circling. - Where you are. A postcode starting DN4 5 is the ideal start. - Name the road — Rose Hill or wherever you have pulled up — or the car park. - Or the nearest landmark. A car park is quicker to find by what it serves, such as the one at Asda. - The make and model of the car, and the fact it is a diesel. - Say which was put in — petrol or AdBlue — since AdBlue is a separate job, with a page of its own for Doncaster Common. - How long the nozzle was in, or the litres on the receipt — either tells us how much. - Whether it has run. Then if it has, how far and how heavily. - Sort who has your car before our technicians turn up: some hire or company contracts want the owner to authorise this work, and doing it quicker first. Then phone 0333 366 0103. If it can wait — the vehicle is at home and going nowhere — does the trick as well. ## While you wait for a fuel drain around Doncaster Common Hold to these: well-meant help causes the harm during the wait. - Your safety comes before your car. Somewhere exposed? Get away from the traffic and wait away from it. Fine where it sits? Wait with 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. - Additives stay in your boot. Injector cleaner and two-stroke oil take none of that petrol out again. - Emptying it yourself is out: a can of siphoned petrol on a verge is a danger, and the fuel beyond the tank remains put all the same. - Keep your ignition off — your windows and your radio too. ## Van arrived? The fuel drain, one step at a time - Fuel, amount, whether it has run: the replies set this job, and that is why we give a price after them instead of before. - The tank is cleared. The polluted blend comes out of the tank. - Purging the lines comes next, since a motor that ran has petrol past your tank, inside the lines themselves. - Then your filter: swapped where there is a serviceable one, cleared where there's not. - Your system is primed with fresh diesel. - First start on new diesel. Once priming is done, the motor is fired up and we confirm that it runs correctly. The car has new diesel running through it before we go. When it has been spotted soon, lasting damage is very rare, and the car returns to normal use straight away. ## After the fuel drain is done: driving around Doncaster Common a second time - After it's been started on fresh fuel, there is nothing unusual to do: drive normally. - The first miles are the test. A warning lamp, exhaust smoke, a rough idle or a flat throttle is your cue to stop then ring us once more. - Your paperwork answers the query a rental company, fleet manager or insurer may ask: what work was carried out. File it. - Next time, check the petrol pump. The label, not the colour of its handle. ## About Doncaster Common and where it is Doncaster Common is a locality situated near the town of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, with a mix of detached housing and local amenities.
