Pause there. The next few minutes decide it far more than anything else: petrol in a diesel that has not run normally comes down to emptying and purging, right there. Here is the sequence of things from here, wherever you are around Measborough Dike. ## Petrol in a diesel? What to do in minute one First, the following — following this sequence. - Take your keys out. Even the ignition on its own can prime your fuel system, pulling petrol out of your tank to exactly the parts it harms, and so leave the vehicle alone completely. - No diesel on top. More fuel in removes none of the petrol — it just makes you with extra of the same blend. - Being seen comes first beside moving traffic: put the hazards on, and only then deal with anything else. - The attendants will normally help you roll it clear of the petrol pump. Let them, then roll it by hand — not under your engine, even for a few yards. - The first thing you will be asked is which fuel you put in and roughly how much — and your receipt says both. Keep it. Still on the move when you realised? Come off the M1 at the next junction if that's where you are, under 3 miles from Measborough Dike, and pull over somewhere safe and not pushing on to the services. Then start at step one. ## The fork in every Measborough Dike fuel drain: has it run yet? Everything after this stage depends on one answer. If your motor has not run at all: - All the petrol remains in your tank, and just there. - Usually it's drained and rinsed just where the car is. - Stage one matters for exactly this reason: it's the best place to be in. If it has been started, even for a second: - Some petrol has left that tank by now, passed through your filter, and got into the lines. - A bigger run takes it all the way to the high-pressure fuel pump and your injectors. - The job grows with the miles — lines purged, filter dealt with, occasionally more. Petrol doesn't lubricate. Diesel does, oiling the high-pressure pump and injectors as it passes through, which is why the line falls where it does. In the tank, sitting still, petrol does no harm. Move that petrol, though, and it grinds down the very parts that move it. ## Before you call about petrol in a diesel around Measborough Dike: what our technicians need Get ready a little, and the technician finds you instead of circling. - Your location: a postcode beginning S70 3 works best. - A road name helps: Heathfields, say, or whatever street you've stopped in. A car park works too. - Car parks are located most easily by what they serve: say the one outside Aldi, and it's straightforward. - The make and model of the car, and the fact it's a diesel. - Petrol or AdBlue? Tell us which. They are separate jobs, and AdBlue has its own Measborough Dike page. - The quantity: the receipt's litres, or else how long you held the nozzle in. - The miles it covered, and how hard, if it has run at all. - Whose motor it is. Some hire or company agreements want the owner to approve the work, and that is easier settled before we arrive than after. Ring 0333 366 0103 once you've got that together — or, if the vehicle is at home, going nowhere, use . ## Waiting for a fuel drain in Measborough Dike: what to do Hold to these: kindly meant help causes the harm during the wait. - Your safety comes before the vehicle. Somewhere unsafe? Get away from the traffic and wait away from it. Safe where it stands? Wait with it. - No one starts it. Not a passer-by being helpful, not to check it is all right, not to roll the car a couple of yards. - None of it takes the petrol back out — not two-stroke oil, not injector cleaner, not something from the boot. So no additives. - No home-made clearing. Siphoning petrol into a can at the kerbside is hazardous, and it leaves your fuel that has already gone beyond your tank. - Even the radio or the windows are not worth turning the ignition on for. ## The fuel drain, step by step, once our van gets there - The quote comes after three queries, not before them — what went in, how much, and whether it's run — since those replies set this job. - Out of the tank comes the contaminated blend: your tank is emptied. - The lines are flushed. If it ran, that petrol has moved beyond your tank, and the lines are carrying it. - Where the vehicle has a usable filter, it's replaced; if not, cleared. - Clean diesel goes in, then the fuel system is primed. - Starting up. When the system is primed with clean diesel, we start the engine and confirm it runs smoothly. Only once it is running on clean diesel do we leave. If it has been caught soon, long-term damage is very unusual, and your car returns to normal driving straight away. ## Measborough Dike, after your fuel drain: back on the road - Nothing unusual is needed after a start with clean diesel — usual driving is all. - Give the first miles your attention. Smoke showing, a warning light coming on, your idle going lumpy or your throttle stumbling: pull over and ring us back. - An insurer, a fleet manager or a hire firm may ask what was done, so hold on to your paperwork. - Next time, go by the petrol pump's label rather than the colour of its handle. ## About Measborough Dike, briefly Measborough Dike is a suburban area in South Yorkshire, situated near the River Dearne and close to the towns of Kendray and Hoyle Mill.
