Engine off. Leave it that way — no second on, no shifting it at all. The coming few minutes decide it more than anything else: petrol in a diesel that has not run generally amounts to draining then flushing, on the spot. Here's the sequence of things from here, anywhere you are around Kerry. ## Minute one: petrol in a diesel, engine off Work through the following first, in this sequence. - Bleeding your fuel system draws petrol from your tank toward the components it harms, and turning your ignition on can be all it takes to do that. So your keys get taken out, and your ignition stays off altogether. - No diesel on top. More fuel in takes away none of the petrol — it just makes you with extra of the same blend. - Get the car easy to see first — hazards on — if there is traffic going past anywhere near you. - However short the way, starting it to move it is the mistake. At a forecourt, push it away from the petrol pump by hand instead, and ask the staff to lend a hand. - Hold on to the till receipt. It shows which fuel got in and roughly how much, which is the first thing we'll ask. If you were still on the move when you noticed, stop somewhere sensible rather than pushing on for the services — on the M54, under 50 miles from Kerry, that means the next exit. Step one comes next. ## Kerry fuel drain: has your engine run yet, or not? From this stage on, everything hinges on a single answer. Motor not run at all? - No place but the tank: that's where that petrol yet is. - Normally it is emptied and cleaned right where the vehicle is. - This, here, is the best place to be in, and the reason step one matters. Run at all, even for a second: - Some petrol has left that tank by now, passed through the filter, and got into the fuel lines. - Run it farther and the petrol reaches the injectors, having gone through your fuel pump first. - The farther it went, the bigger this job — the fuel lines, your filter, and sometimes more besides. Petrol doesn't lubricate. Diesel does, oiling the pump and injectors as it passes through, which is why the line falls where it does. In that tank, sitting still, petrol harms nothing. The components that shift it are grinding the moment petrol is being pumped. ## Before you call about petrol in a diesel in Kerry: what we need A van that circles against a van that finds you: a little planning is the difference. - The ideal start is a postcode — one beginning SY16 4 — for where you have stopped. - The road or the car park. A road name is a help — Common Road, or wherever you have pulled up. - What a car park serves is the easiest way to find it, and so say the landmark — like the one at Morrisons. - Make and model of your car, and the fact it is a diesel. - Petrol or AdBlue? Say which. They are different jobs, and AdBlue has a separate Kerry page. - How much. Litres from your receipt, or how long the nozzle was in the filler. - Whether it has run. And if it has, how far and how hard. - The owner may have to authorise this work under some hire or company contracts — which is why it's faster to settle whose motor it is before our engineers arrive. Ring 0333 366 0103 once you have got that ready — or, if the vehicle is at home, going nowhere, use . ## Kerry fuel drain on its way? While you wait Stick to these: well-intended help causes the damage during the wait. - Stay with your car if it's safe where it is — but if it has stopped somewhere dangerous, you come first: away from the traffic, waiting apart from it. - Not to roll it a few yards, not to check it is all right, not for a passer-by's kindness: no one starts it. - Something from your boot, oil meant for two-strokes or injector cleaner: no additive removes the petrol. - A DIY drain misses the fuel that has already gone beyond the tank, and siphoning petrol by the road is dangerous too. - Ignition stays off. Even for your radio or the windows. ## The fuel drain, step by step, once the van arrives - Our price comes after three questions, not before them — what got in, how much, and if it's run — because those answers shape this job. - Draining it's how that blend gets taken from that tank. - Purging the lines follows, because a motor that ran has petrol past the tank, inside your lines themselves. - Where the car has a serviceable filter, it is changed; otherwise, cleared. - Priming comes after clean diesel is in. - Our engineers fire it up only after fresh diesel has gone in and primed the fuel system, then check that it is running correctly. We wait until it's running on new diesel. When it has been noticed soon, lasting damage is very uncommon, and your car goes back to normal driving straight away. ## Kerry, after the fuel drain: back on the road - Nothing unusual is needed after a start with clean diesel — ordinary driving will do. - Give the first miles your attention. Smoke appearing, a warning light coming on, the idle going lumpy or the throttle hesitating: pull over then call us back. - The documents covers the question 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 the handle. ## About Kerry and where it is Kerry is a village in Powys, Wales, situated on the banks of a river at an elevation of around 198 metres.
