Pause there. The next few minutes determine it more than anything else: petrol in a diesel still unrun normally amounts to emptying then rinsing, right there. From now on, step by step, for anywhere in Llanmorlais: ## Minute one: petrol in a diesel, engine off Go through these in order, before you do anything else. - Take the keys out. Even your ignition on its own can prime your fuel system, drawing petrol out of your tank to exactly the components it damages, so leave it alone entirely. - Do not top it up with diesel. Adding diesel takes out nothing. You are left with a fuller tank of the same mix. - Close to moving traffic? Then the hazards go on before anything else, so the car is easy to spot. - The attendants will usually help you roll it clear of the petrol pump. Ask, and move it by hand — never under the engine, even for a couple of yards. - The first question you will be asked is which fuel you put in and roughly how much — and the receipt says both. Hold on to it. Noticed on the move? Get off at the next junction if you are on the M4, under 10 miles from Llanmorlais, and stop somewhere sensible — not at the services further on. Stage one starts after that. ## The fork in every Llanmorlais fuel drain: has it run yet? One answer is what everything after this point rests on. Not run, not even once: - Only that tank has petrol in it so far. - Where the car stands is normally where the work happens: a drain, then a flush. - This, here, is the best position to be in, and the reason stage one matters. If the engine has been run, even briefly: - Out of your tank, through the fuel filter, into the fuel lines: that's how far that petrol has travelled. - On a longer run it has reached your high-pressure pump and the injectors. - The job expands with the mileage — lines cleaned, filter sorted, sometimes more. The line falls there since diesel protects your high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors on its way through them — and petrol does not. In your tank, sitting still, petrol harms nothing. Pump the petrol, though, and it grinds down the very parts doing the moving. ## Llanmorlais, petrol in a diesel: have these ready before you call A van that circles versus a technician that finds you: a little preparation is the difference. - Your location: a postcode beginning SA4 3 works best. - A road name is a help: Wern Road, say, or whichever street you have stopped in. A car park does the trick too. - What a car park serves is the easiest way to find it, and so mention the landmark — like the one at CKs Supermarket. - Make and model of the car, and the fact it's a diesel. - Petrol or AdBlue? Say which. They are separate jobs, and AdBlue has a separate Llanmorlais page. - How much. Litres from the receipt, or how long the nozzle was in the filler. - If it's run, how far plus how heavily — and whether it's run at all. - The owner may have to approve this work under some hire and company agreements — so it's quicker to settle whose car it is before our technicians arrive. Next, 0333 366 0103. Not time-critical, the vehicle parked at home with nowhere to be? Then works as well. ## Llanmorlais fuel drain on its way? Whilst you wait During the wait, the damage comes from well-meant help — so these count. - Where the car has stopped decides where you wait. Exposed: away from it, clear of the traffic. Safe: with it. Either way, safety ahead of the car. - A helpful passer-by does not crank it. Nor does anyone wanting to check it still does the trick, or rolling it a few yards. - No additives. Two-stroke oil, injector cleaner, anything from your boot — none of it gets the petrol back out. - Siphoning petrol into a can at the kerbside is risky — and it still leaves whatever fuel has already gone beyond the tank. Do not drain the car yourself. - Not for your radio, not for the windows: your ignition remains off. ## Step by step: the fuel drain when the van arrives - Fuel, quantity, whether it has run: the replies decide the job, and that's why you get a quote after them rather than before. - Emptying it is how that mixture gets taken from the tank. - The lines are cleaned. If it ran, that petrol has shifted beyond the tank, and the lines are carrying it. - Then the filter: replaced where there's a serviceable one, cleared where there is not. - Bleeding your system comes after clean diesel is in. - The start. With new diesel in and your system primed, it's started and checked to be sure it runs correctly. Until it runs on clean diesel, our engineers stay with it. It's very uncommon for a car caught early to be left with long-term damage, and normal driving resumes straight away. ## After the fuel drain: back on the road in Llanmorlais - Drive normally. There is nothing special to do after it's been started on fresh fuel. - Pull over and call us back if anything looks wrong early on — a light on the dash, smoke from the exhaust, an idle that is lumpy, or a throttle with a dead spot. - An insurer, a fleet manager or a hire firm may ask what was done, so hold on to your documents. - Next time, read the petrol pump. The label, not the colour of the handle. ## About Llanmorlais itself Llanmorlais is a small coastal village in Swansea, situated near the shores of the Bristol Channel at an elevation of around 15 metres.
