Stop; leave the vehicle off. Hasn't been run? Then petrol in a diesel will usually be a straightforward drain-and-flush job wherever your car has stopped — and nothing settles that more than the next few minutes do. From here on, in order, for anywhere in Lady Ediths: ## Petrol in a diesel? What to do in minute one Go through the following in sequence, first. - Ignition off, keys out. Turned on, your ignition can prime the system — and priming is what moves petrol out of the tank towards the parts it harms. - No diesel on top. More fuel in removes none of that petrol — it only leaves you with more of the same blend. - Close to moving traffic? Then your hazards go on before everything else, and so the vehicle is simple to see. - The attendants will generally help you roll it away from the pump. Ask, then roll it by hand — not on the motor, even for a couple of yards. - Which fuel, and roughly how much? The receipt replies that, and that's where our questions start. Don't throw it away. On the Petuaria Way, under 50 miles from Lady Ediths, the next junction is the place to leave the vehicle; elsewhere, the first safe place to stop. Do not push on to the services. Then go back to stage one. ## The fork in each Lady Ediths fuel drain: has it run yet? One answer is what everything after this stage depends on. Not run, not even once: - All the petrol sits in that tank, and only there. - Where the car stands is usually where the work happens: a drain, then a flush. - This, here, is the best position to be in, and the reason stage one counts. If it's been started, even for a moment: - Some petrol has left that tank by now, passed through the fuel filter, and got into your lines. - Run it further and that petrol reaches the injectors, having passed through your fuel pump first. - Distance is what turns it into a bigger job: the lines flushed, a filter seen to, and at times more than that. Petrol doesn't lubricate. Diesel does, protecting your high-pressure pump and injectors as it flows through, which is why the line falls where it does. In that tank, left alone, petrol does no harm. Move the petrol, though, and it wears the very parts doing the moving. ## Lady Ediths, petrol in a diesel: have these ready before you call Get ready a little, and the technician finds you instead of circling. - Where you have stopped. A postcode beginning YO12 5 is the best start. - A road name helps: Sandhurst Gardens, say, or whichever street you have stopped in. A car park works too. - Car parks are located most easily by what they serve: say the one outside Proudfoot, and it is straightforward. - That it is a diesel, along with the make and model of the vehicle. - Which got in matters: AdBlue is a separate job from petrol, and Lady Ediths has a page just for that. So say. - How much. Litres from the receipt, or how long the nozzle was in. - Has it run? If so, say how far it went, and the way it was driven. - Whose motor it is. Some hire or company agreements want the owner to approve this work, and that is easier settled before we turn up than after. Then call 0333 366 0103. If it can wait — your car is at home with going nowhere — works as well. ## The wait for a Lady Ediths fuel drain, and what to do in it During the wait, the harm comes from well-meant help — so these matter. - Wait with the car if it is safe where it is — but if it has stopped somewhere unsafe, you come first: away from the traffic, waiting apart from it. - A helpful passer-by doesn't crank it. Nor does anybody checking it still does the trick, or rolling it a couple of yards. - None of that takes the petrol back out — not two-stroke oil, not injector cleaner, not anything from your boot. So no additives. - No home-made clearing. Siphoning petrol into a can by the kerbside is dangerous, and it leaves the fuel that has by now gone beyond that tank. - Even your radio or the windows aren't worth turning the ignition on for. ## Van arrived? Your fuel drain, one step at a time - First, three queries: which fuel was put in, the quantity, and has it run? Those replies set the job, and so the price follows them. - Next your tank is cleared, so the polluted fuel is taken out. - Petrol that has shifted beyond your tank sits in the fuel lines once it ran, and the lines are rinsed to clear it. - Cleaned, or replaced if the vehicle has a usable one: the filter is sorted next. - Clean diesel goes in, then the fuel system is primed. - Starting up. After your system is primed with fresh diesel, our engineers fire it up and check it runs properly. Our technicians remain until it's running on new diesel. The car goes back to normal driving straight away, and lasting damage is very rare if it has been spotted soon. ## Back on the road in Lady Ediths after the fuel drain - Nothing unusual is needed after a start with fresh diesel — ordinary driving will do. - Give the first miles your attention. Smoke appearing, a warning light coming on, your idle going lumpy or your throttle stumbling: pull over then call us back. - The work may matter later with a hire firm, an insurer or a fleet manager. Keep the documents. - Read the label on the petrol pump next time, not the colour of the handle. ## About Lady Ediths itself Lady Ediths is a suburban area located on the coast of North Yorkshire, with an elevation of around 60 metres above sea level.
