Hasn't been run? Then petrol in a diesel will usually be a simple drain-and-flush job wherever the vehicle has stopped — and no other factor decides that as much as the next few minutes do. Anywhere you are in Frampton on Severn, here is the order things run from here. ## Petrol in a diesel, motor off — the first minute In this sequence, and before anything else: - Keys out of the ignition. Switching your ignition on can be all it takes to prime your fuel system, while priming draws petrol out of the tank towards the components it damages. Leave the vehicle off completely. - No diesel on top. More fuel in takes away none of that petrol — it only leaves you with more of the same blend. - Near passing traffic? Then your hazards come on before anything else, so your car is simple to spot. - The staff will normally help you push it away from the pump. Let them, then roll it by hand — not under your engine, even for a few yards. - The first thing we will ask is which fuel you put in and about how much — and the till receipt shows both. Keep it. If you were still on the move when you noticed, pull over somewhere sensible rather than pushing on for the services — on the M5, under 3 miles from Frampton on Severn, that means the next exit. Step one follows. ## Frampton on Severn fuel drain: has the engine run yet, or not? One answer is what everything after this stage depends on. Engine never run at all? - The petrol remains inside the tank, and just there. - Where your car stands is normally where the work happens: a drain, then a flush. - This is the best case — which is the whole point of stage one. Motor run, even for a moment? - Your lines and the filter now hold petrol pulled from that tank. - A bigger run takes it right through to the high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors. - The job grows with the distance — lines flushed, filter seen to, occasionally more. The line falls there because diesel protects the high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors on its way through them — and petrol does not. Petrol sitting in a tank harms nothing. Petrol being pumped is grinding down the parts that move it. ## Before you call about petrol in a diesel in Frampton on Severn: what our engineers need A little planning is the difference between a technician that finds you and a technician that goes round. - Where you are. A postcode beginning GL2 7 is the best place to start. - Wherever you have pulled up, the road's name is useful — whether that is Bridge Road or somewhere else — and so does the name of a car park. - Car parks are found most easily by what they serve: say the one outside The Co-operative Food, and it is simple. - The make and model of your car, and the fact it's a diesel. - Petrol or AdBlue? Say which. They are separate jobs, and AdBlue has a separate Frampton on Severn page. - The amount: your receipt's litres, or otherwise how long you held the nozzle in. - If it has run, how far plus how heavily — as well as whether it's run at all. - The owner may have to authorise this work under some hire or company agreements — which is why it is faster to settle whose motor it is before our technicians arrive. Next, 0333 366 0103. Not time-critical, your car parked at home with nowhere to be? Then works as well. ## Frampton on Severn fuel drain on its way? Whilst you wait Hold to these: kindly meant help does the harm during the wait. - Where the car has stopped decides where you wait. Somewhere exposed: away from it, away from the traffic. Safe: with it. Either way, safety before the car. - A helpful passer-by doesn't fire it up. Nor does anyone checking it still works, or rolling it a couple of yards. - Additives remain in your boot. Injector cleaner and two-stroke oil draw none of the petrol out again. - No DIY draining. Siphoning petrol into a can at the kerbside is dangerous, and it leaves the fuel that has by now gone beyond the tank. - Leave your ignition off — your windows and your radio included. ## When our van arrives: the fuel drain, step by step - Our price comes after three questions, not before them — what went in, how much, and whether it's run — since those answers set this job. - Next that tank is cleared, so the polluted fuel is taken out. - The lines are cleaned. If it ran, that petrol has shifted beyond that tank, and the fuel lines are holding it. - Where your car has a usable filter, it is replaced; if not, cleared. - Fresh diesel goes in, then your system is primed. - Starting up. When your system is primed with new diesel, our engineers start it and make sure it runs properly. Our technicians stay until it's running on new diesel. If it has been noticed soon, long-term damage is very uncommon, and the vehicle returns to normal use straight away. ## Back on the road in Frampton on Severn after the fuel drain - Drive normally. There is nothing unusual to do once it's been started on clean fuel. - The first miles are the test. A dash warning, exhaust smoke, a rough idle or a flat throttle is your signal to stop and call us a second time. - Hold on to the paperwork. A hire firm, a fleet manager or an insurer may ask what was carried out. - The handle's colour isn't the guide to go by next time — the label on the pump is. ## About Frampton on Severn, for a moment Frampton on Severn is a village in Gloucestershire, situated near the banks of the River Severn, with Saul and Wheatenhurst nearby.
