Stop; leave it off. The next few minutes decide it far more than anything else: petrol in a diesel still unrun generally comes down to clearing and rinsing, on the spot. Here's the sequence of things from now, anywhere you are in Llanddulas. ## Minute one: petrol in a diesel, engine off Work through the following in order, before you do anything else. - Bleeding your fuel system draws petrol from the tank towards the components it damages, and turning your ignition on can be enough to do that. So your keys get taken out, and the ignition stays off completely. - No diesel on top. More fuel in removes none of that petrol — it just leaves you with more of the same blend. - Hazard lights on. If you're at all near moving traffic, make the vehicle simple to see before you do anything else. - The staff will normally help you push it clear of the petrol pump. Ask, and move it by hand — not under the engine, even for a couple of yards. - Hold on to the till receipt: the fuel and roughly how much are printed on it, and they are what our technicians ask for first. Realised on the move? Get off at the next junction if you are on the Moreton Spur, under 25 miles from Llanddulas, and stop somewhere safe — not at the services farther on. Step one comes after that. ## Every Llanddulas fuel drain starts here: has the motor run? From this point on, everything comes down to a single answer. If your engine has not run at all: - Just that tank has petrol in it so far. - A drain and flush, on the spot, is normally the whole job. - Being here is as good as it gets — which is the whole point of stage one. If your motor has been run, even for a moment: - From that tank, through the filter, into the lines: that is how far that petrol has travelled. - The high-pressure pump as well as your injectors see it too on a longer run. - Miles is what makes it a larger job: the lines flushed, a filter seen to, and at times more than that. Why the line falls there: diesel protects the high-pressure fuel pump and the injectors as it flows through them, and petrol doesn't. In that tank, left alone, petrol does no harm. Once it's pumped, petrol begins wearing whatever moves it. ## Before you call about petrol in a diesel around Llanddulas: what our technicians need Whether the van goes round or finds you depends on a little planning. - Where you have stopped. A postcode starting LL22 8 is the ideal start. - Wherever you have pulled up, the road's name helps — whether that's Ffordd yr Orsaf or somewhere else — and so does the name of a car park. - What a car park serves is the quickest way to find it, so mention the landmark — such as the one at Aldi. - The make and model of the vehicle, and the fact it is a diesel. - Tell us which got in — petrol or AdBlue — because AdBlue is a different job, with a page of its own for Llanddulas. - Roughly how much — in litres from your receipt, or by how long the nozzle stayed in. - Whether it has run. Then if it has, how far plus how heavily. - Hire or company car? Some agreements need the owner's authorisation for this work, and sorting it before we get there is faster than afterwards. Phone 0333 366 0103 then. Writing to is fine too if it can wait, with the vehicle left at home, going nowhere. ## Llanddulas fuel drain on its way? Whilst you wait The wait is where well-intended help does the damage. Stick to these. - Safety before your car. If it has stopped somewhere unsafe, get yourself clear of the traffic then wait away from it. If it is safe where it stands, stay with it. - A kind passer-by doesn't start it. Nor does anybody wanting to check it still does the trick, or rolling it a few yards. - No additives. Two-stroke oil, injector cleaner, something from the boot — none of it gets that petrol back out. - Siphoning petrol into a can at the roadside is dangerous — and it still leaves whatever fuel has already gone beyond your tank. Do not try a home-made drain. - Not for the radio, not for your windows: your ignition remains off. ## Van arrived? The fuel drain, one stage at a time - First, three questions: which fuel was put in, the volume, and has it run? Those answers set the job, and so the price follows them. - Out of that tank comes the tainted mix: that tank is emptied. - Purging the lines follows, since a car that ran has petrol past your tank, inside the fuel lines themselves. - Cleaned, or changed if your car has a workable one: the filter is seen to next. - Fresh diesel in, and the system primed. - Our technicians start the car only after clean diesel has gone in and bled the fuel system, then check that it is running correctly. The vehicle has new diesel running through it before our engineers go. When it has been noticed early, permanent damage is very rare, and the car returns to normal use at once. ## After the fuel drain is done: driving in Llanddulas again - Started on fresh diesel, it needs nothing special of you. Just drive normally. - Watch the first miles. A warning light, smoke, a rough idle or a flat spot under your throttle tells you to pull over then call us back. - The paperwork covers the query a rental company, fleet manager or insurer may ask: what work was carried out. File it. - Next time, read the petrol pump. The label, not the colour of its handle. ## About Llanddulas and where it is Llanddulas is a coastal village in Conwy, situated near the cliffs and beaches of the Irish Sea coast.
