Here Is What Happens Whatever you do, never switch your motor on, even for a moment, to shift the vehicle. Stop; leave the vehicle off. Petrol in a diesel that has not been run is generally a simple drain plus a flush, done right where your vehicle stands, and what you do in the coming few minutes settles that far more than anything else. Below is the order from here, wherever around Limekiln Field you are. ## Engine off: minute one with petrol in a diesel Work through the following in order, before you do anything else. - Priming the fuel system draws petrol from your tank toward the parts it damages, and turning your ignition on can be all it takes to do that. So the keys get taken out, and the ignition remains off completely. - Topping up with diesel sounds like it dilutes the trouble. It does not: nothing comes out, and that tank simply carries more of the same. - Hazard lights on. If you're anywhere near moving traffic, make the vehicle easy to see before you do anything else. - However short the distance, starting it to shift it is the thing to avoid. On a forecourt, roll the vehicle clear of the pump by hand instead, then ask the staff to lend a hand. - Which fuel, and about how much? The receipt answers both, and that is where our questions start. Do not bin it. If you were still on the move when you noticed, pull over somewhere sensible rather than pushing on for the services — on the M1, under 3 miles from Limekiln Field, that means the next exit. Step one follows. ## The fork in each Limekiln Field fuel drain: has it run yet? What comes after this turns on one answer, and just one. Motor never run at all? - The petrol remains in that tank, and just there. - Draining and flushing, on the spot, is normally all of it. - This, here, is the best position to be in, and the whole reason stage one counts. Motor run, however for a moment? - The fuel lines and the fuel filter now carry petrol pulled out of your tank. - On a longer run it has got to the high-pressure pump as well as the fuel injectors. - The job expands with the mileage — lines flushed, filter seen to, occasionally more. That line falls there since diesel protects the high-pressure pump and your injectors on its way through them — and petrol does not. Petrol resting in a tank damages nothing. As soon as it's pumped, petrol begins wearing down whatever moves it. ## What to have ready when you call about petrol in a diesel from Limekiln Field A van that circles against a technician that finds you: a little planning is what separates them. - Your location: a postcode beginning S44 6 serves best. - A road name helps: Mill Lane, say, or whatever street you have stopped in. A car park works too. - Or the landmark. A car park is quicker to find by what it serves, such as the one at Morrisons. - The make and model of your car, and the fact it is a diesel. - Which got in counts: AdBlue is a separate job from petrol, and Limekiln Field has a page for it. So say. - How long the nozzle was in, or the litres on your receipt — whichever gives us how much. - Has it run? If so, tell us how far it went, and the way it was driven. - Hire or company car? Some agreements want the owner's go-ahead for this work, and sorting it before our engineers arrive is quicker than afterwards. Next, 0333 366 0103. Not time-critical, your car parked at home with nowhere to be? Then works too. ## Limekiln Field fuel drain on its way? While you wait The wait is where kindly meant help does the damage. Hold to these. - Safety before your car. If it has stopped somewhere exposed, get yourself clear of the traffic then wait away from it. If it is safe where it sits, stay with it. - No one starts it. Not a passer-by being helpful, not to check it is all right, not to roll the vehicle a few yards. - No additives. Two-stroke oil, injector cleaner, anything from the boot — none of that takes that petrol back out. - A DIY drain misses your fuel that has already gone beyond your tank, and siphoning petrol by the road is hazardous besides. - Even the radio or your windows aren't worth switching the ignition on for. ## The fuel drain, step by step, once the van gets there - First, three queries: which fuel got in, the amount, and has it run? Those replies set this job, and so our price follows them. - Your tank is cleared. The tainted mixture comes out of the tank. - Petrol that has shifted beyond the tank travels in your lines if it ran, and the lines are rinsed to shift it. - The filter is sorted. Cleared, or replaced where your car has a serviceable one. - The fuel system is primed with fresh diesel. - Starting up. Once your system is primed with clean diesel, our engineers fire it up and confirm it runs correctly. Our engineers remain until it's running on new diesel. Lasting damage is very rare if it has been caught quickly, so the car can go straight back to normal driving. ## Limekiln Field, after your fuel drain: back on the road - Started on fresh diesel, it needs nothing unusual of you. Simply drive normally. - Give the first miles your attention. Smoke appearing, a warning light coming on, your idle going lumpy or the throttle hesitating: pull over and call us back. - The work may come up later with a hire company, an insurer or a fleet manager. Hold on to the paperwork. - The handle's colour is not the thing to go by next time — the label on the pump is. ## About Limekiln Field itself Limekiln Field is a suburban area in Derbyshire, situated inland at an elevation of 167 metres, approximately 12.5 miles from Sheffield.
