Stop there. The next few minutes determine it more than anything else: petrol in a diesel that has not run usually comes down to clearing and rinsing, right there. Anywhere you are in Golds Hill, here is how things go from here. ## Petrol in a diesel? What to do in minute one First, the following — following this order. - Take the keys out. Even your ignition by itself can prime the system, drawing petrol out of the tank to precisely the components it harms, so keep the car off wholly. - A fuller tank of the same mix is all adding diesel gives you, because it removes nothing. So no more diesel. - Get the vehicle easy to see first — hazards on — if there is moving traffic anywhere close to you. - The staff will generally help you push it clear of the petrol pump. Let them, then move it by hand — never under the engine, even for a few yards. - Keep the till receipt. It says which fuel got in and about how much, which is the first thing we'll ask. If you were still on the move when you realised, pull over somewhere sensible instead of pushing on for the services — on the M6, under 3 miles from Golds Hill, that means the next junction. Step one comes next. ## Each Golds Hill fuel drain starts here: has your engine run? What comes next rests on one answer, and just one. If it has not once been started: - All the petrol sits in that tank, and just there. - Usually it's emptied and rinsed right where the vehicle stands. - No place is better, and it's why the first step matters so much. Run at all, however briefly: - Your lines and your filter now carry petrol drawn out of the tank. - Your high-pressure pump and your injectors see it too on a longer run. - Lines flushed, the fuel filter dealt with, and sometimes more: the job grows as the distance does. Diesel keeps the high-pressure fuel pump and your injectors protected as it goes through them. Petrol gives them nothing, and that is why the line is drawn there. A tank of petrol, left alone, hurts nothing. The parts that move it are grinding the moment petrol is being pumped. ## Before you call about petrol in a diesel in Golds Hill: what our engineers need Whether the van circles or finds you depends on a little planning. - B70 0 and the remainder of the postcode makes the ideal way to start telling us where you are. - Wherever you have pulled up, the road's name is useful — whether that's Puddingbag Street or somewhere else — and so does the name of a car park. - What a car park serves is the easiest way to find it, so say the landmark — such as the one outside ASDA Supercentre. - That it's a diesel, plus the make and model of your vehicle. - Which got in matters: AdBlue is a separate job from petrol, and Golds Hill has a page just for that. So say. - How much. Litres from the receipt, or how long the nozzle was in. - Whether it's run. And if it has, how far and how hard. - The owner may have to approve the work under some hire or company agreements — which is why it's quicker to settle whose motor it is before our technicians get there. Phone 0333 366 0103 next. Writing to works too if it can wait, with your car left at home, going nowhere. ## Waiting for a fuel drain around Golds Hill: what to do During the wait, the harm comes from well-intended help — so these count. - Your safety comes before the vehicle. Somewhere dangerous? Get clear of the traffic then wait away from it. Fine where it sits? Stay with it. - No one — however helpful — starts it, whether to see if it runs or to move the car a short way. - Something from the boot, oil meant for two-strokes or injector cleaner: no additive lifts the petrol. - Siphoning petrol into a can by the kerbside is hazardous — and it also leaves whatever fuel has already gone beyond the tank. Don't try a home-made drain. - Ignition remains off. Even for your radio or the windows. ## The fuel drain, step by step, after the van gets there - Fuel, amount, whether it has run: those replies decide this job, and that's why we give a quote after them rather than before. - Then your tank is drained, and the contaminated fuel is taken out. - The lines are flushed. If it ran, that petrol has shifted beyond the tank, and the fuel lines are carrying it. - Where the vehicle has a usable filter, it is changed; otherwise, cleared. - Priming follows once clean diesel is in. - The start-up. With clean diesel in and your system bled, it's started and checked to confirm it runs properly. The vehicle has fresh diesel running through it before our engineers head off. Permanent damage is very rare if it has been spotted soon, so the vehicle can go right back to normal driving. ## After the fuel drain is done: driving in Golds Hill again - Drive normally. There is nothing special to do after it has been started on clean fuel. - The first miles are the test. A warning lamp, exhaust smoke, a rough idle or a flat throttle is your cue to stop and call us once more. - The work may come up later with a hire company, an insurer or a fleet manager. Hold on to your documents. - Next time, trust the petrol pump's label rather than the colour of its handle. ## About Golds Hill and where it is Golds Hill is a suburban area in the West Midlands, situated near the River Tame and close to the city of Wolverhampton.
