Engine off. Leave the car like that — no moment on, no shifting it anywhere. Cleared and flushed, right where it sits: that's generally all an unrun diesel with petrol in it needs. Whether it remains that straightforward rests on the minutes ahead far more than on everything else. From now on, in order, for anywhere in Godley Hill: ## Petrol in a diesel? What to do in minute one Go through the following in order, before you do anything else. - Ignition off, keys out. Switched on, your ignition can prime your system — and priming is what moves petrol out of your tank towards the components it damages. - No diesel on top. More fuel in takes away none of the petrol — it only makes you with more of the same blend. - Hazards on. If you are anywhere near moving traffic, make the vehicle easy to see before you do anything else. - The staff will normally help you push it clear of the pump. Ask, then move it by hand — not on the motor, even for a couple of yards. - Which fuel, and roughly how much? The receipt answers that, and that's where our first question starts. Never throw it away. Still driving when you realised? Come off the M67 at the next exit if that's where you are, under a mile from Godley Hill, and pull over somewhere safe and not pushing on to the services. Then begin at stage one. ## Every Godley Hill fuel drain starts here: has your engine run? Everything after this point rests on one answer. If it has not once been started: - That petrol is still inside the tank and nowhere else. - Where the vehicle stands is normally where this work is done: a drain, then a flush. - This is the best case — which is the whole point of step one. If it's been started, even for a moment: - The lines and the fuel filter already carry petrol pulled from the tank. - A bigger run carries it all the way to your high-pressure pump and your injectors. - Lines flushed, the fuel filter dealt with, occasionally more: this job expands as the miles does. Diesel keeps the high-pressure pump and your injectors lubricated as it runs through them. Petrol offers them nothing, and that's why the line is drawn there. A tank of petrol, left still, hurts nothing. Pump the petrol, though, and it grinds down the very parts that move it. ## Before you call about petrol in a diesel around Godley Hill: what we need Whether the technician circles or finds you depends on a little planning. - Your location: a postcode beginning SK14 3 serves best. - Name the road — Hazelwood Close or wherever you have stopped — or the car park. - What a car park serves is the easiest way to find it, so say the landmark — like the one outside Morrisons. - That it is a diesel, along with the make and model of your car. - Tell us which was put in — petrol or AdBlue — since AdBlue is a different job, with a page of its own for Godley Hill. - How much. Litres from your receipt, or how long the nozzle was in. - Whether it has run. Then if it has, how far and how hard. - Whose motor it is. Some hire or company contracts want the owner to authorise this work, and that's easier settled before our engineers arrive than after. Then phone 0333 366 0103. If it can wait — the car is at home and going nowhere — does the trick too. ## While you wait for a fuel drain around Godley Hill Stick to these: kindly meant help does the damage during the wait. - Your safety comes before the car. Somewhere dangerous? Get away from the traffic then wait away from it. Fine where it stands? Wait with it. - Nobody starts it. Not a passer-by being helpful, not to check it is all right, not to roll it a couple of yards. - Anything from the boot, oil meant for two-strokes or injector cleaner: no additive removes that petrol. - No home-made clearing. Siphoning petrol into a can by the kerbside is hazardous, and it leaves the fuel that has already gone beyond your tank. - Ignition remains off. Even for the radio or your windows. ## Van arrived? Your fuel drain, one stage at a time - Fuel, volume, whether it's run: the replies decide the job, and that's why we give a price after them rather than before. - Out of that tank comes the contaminated mix: the tank is drained. - The fuel lines are cleaned. If it ran, the petrol has shifted beyond your tank, and the lines are carrying it. - The fuel filter is sorted. Cleared, or changed where the car has a usable one. - Your system is primed on clean diesel. - We start the car only after fresh diesel has gone in and bled your system, then make sure that it is running correctly. Until it runs on clean diesel, our technicians stay with it. Lasting damage is very uncommon when it has been spotted soon, so your car can go straight back to normal driving. ## Once your fuel drain is done: driving around Godley Hill again - After it has been started on clean fuel, there's nothing special to do: drive normally. - Keep an eye on the first miles. A warning light, smoke, a lumpy idle or a flat spot under the throttle tells you to pull over and ring us back. - Keep your documents. A hire company, a fleet manager or an insurer may ask what was done. - Next time, go by the petrol pump's label instead of the colour of its handle. ## About Godley Hill and where it is Godley Hill is a locality situated near the lakeside in Greater Manchester, with an elevation of 144 metres and a mix of detached housing.
