Pause there. Petrol in a diesel that hasn't been run is normally a drain and a flush, done where your car stands, and what you do in the next few minutes settles that far more than anything else. Below is the sequence from here, wherever around Millhouse Green you are. ## Petrol in a diesel? What to do in minute one In this order, and before everything else: - Take the keys out. Even your ignition on its own can prime the system, pulling petrol out of your tank to precisely the components it damages, and so leave the car alone completely. - A fuller tank of the same mix is all adding diesel gives you, because it removes nothing. So no extra diesel. - Get your car simple to see before anything else — hazard lights on — if there's moving traffic anywhere close to you. - Off the pump by hand. On a forecourt, get the attendants to help you push the car away from the petrol pump. Don't fire it up to move it, however short the distance. - Keep the till receipt. It says which fuel got in and about how much, which is the first thing we'll ask. If you were still on the move when you noticed, stop somewhere sensible instead of pushing on for the services — on the M1, under 10 miles from Millhouse Green, that means the next exit. Stage one follows. ## Has it run yet? The fork in each Millhouse Green fuel drain Everything after this point rests on one answer. If your engine hasn't run at all: - The petrol sits in that tank, and only there. - Draining and flushing, on the spot, is usually the whole job. - This, here, is the best place to be in, and the whole reason step one counts. If it has been started, even for a second: - Petrol has been pulled out of that tank, past the fuel filter then into your lines. - The high-pressure pump as well as the injectors get it on a longer run. - Flushing your lines, your filter seen to, occasionally more: the job expands as the distance does. Why the line falls there: diesel protects the high-pressure fuel pump as well as your injectors as it flows through them, and petrol doesn't. In that tank, left alone, petrol harms nothing. As soon as it is pumped, petrol starts wearing whatever moves it. ## Before you call about petrol in a diesel in Millhouse Green: what our engineers need Get ready a little, and the technician finds you instead of circling. - The best start is a postcode — one starting S36 9 — for where you are. - A road name is a help: Lee Lane, say, or whichever street you've stopped in. A car park works too. - What a car park serves is the easiest way to find it, and so mention the landmark — like the one at Tesco. - Tell us what your car is — make, model — and check it is diesel. - Petrol or AdBlue? Tell us which. They are separate jobs, and AdBlue has its own Millhouse Green page. - How long the nozzle was in, or the litres on your receipt — whichever gives us how much. - If it has run, how far and how hard — and if it's run at all. - The owner may have to authorise this work under some hire and company contracts — so it is quicker to settle whose vehicle it is before we get there. Next, 0333 366 0103. Not pressing, the car parked at home with nowhere to be? Then will do too. ## While you wait for a fuel drain around Millhouse Green Help, however well meant, is what does the harm whilst you wait. So stick to these. - Your safety comes before the car. Somewhere unsafe? Get clear of the traffic and wait away from it. Fine where it is? Stay with it. - A kind passer-by doesn't fire it up. Nor does anybody checking it still does the trick, or rolling it a few yards. - None of it takes the petrol back out — not two-stroke oil, not injector cleaner, not something from the boot. So no additives. - Siphoning petrol into a can at the kerbside is hazardous — and it still leaves whatever fuel has already gone beyond the tank. Do not drain it yourself. - Even the radio or your windows aren't worth turning your ignition on for. ## When our van gets there: the fuel drain, step by step - Our quote comes after three questions, not before them — what was put in, how much, and whether it has run — since those answers set this job. - Draining it's how that blend gets taken from your tank. - The lines are flushed. If it ran, the petrol has shifted beyond your tank, and the fuel lines are carrying it. - Cleaned, or changed if the car has a serviceable one: your filter is dealt with next. - Bleeding the system follows after clean diesel is in. - Our technicians start the engine only after new diesel has gone in and primed the fuel system, then check that it is running smoothly. Till it runs on new diesel, our engineers remain with it. If it has been caught early, long-term damage is very rare, and the car goes back to normal driving at once. ## Millhouse Green, after the fuel drain: back on the road - Started on fresh diesel, it needs nothing special of you. Simply drive normally. - The first miles are the test. A dash warning, exhaust smoke, a rough idle or a flat throttle is your cue to stop then ring us a second time. - Keep your paperwork. A hire firm, a fleet manager or an insurer may ask what was carried out. - Read the label on the pump next time, not the colour of the handle. ## About Millhouse Green Millhouse Green is a village in South Yorkshire, situated near the River Don and surrounded by rolling hills.
