Pause there. The next few minutes determine it more than anything else: petrol in a diesel that has not run generally amounts to clearing and rinsing, right there. From now on, step by step, for anywhere around Morton: ## Minute one: petrol in a diesel, motor off In this order, all before anything else: - Keys out of your ignition. Turning your ignition on can be all it takes to prime the fuel system, and priming pulls petrol out of your tank towards the components it harms. Keep the vehicle off completely. - A fuller tank of the same mix is all adding diesel leaves you, since it takes out nothing. So no extra diesel. - Make the vehicle simple to see before anything else — hazard lights on — if there is moving traffic anywhere close to you. - Off the pump by hand. At a forecourt, ask the staff to help you push the car away from the pump. Don't start the car to move it, however short the way. - Which fuel, and about how much? Your receipt replies that, and that's where our questions start. Do not bin it. On the Doncaster By-Pass, under 10 miles from Morton, the next exit is the location to leave it; anywhere, the first sensible location to stop. Don't push on to the services. Then go back to step one. ## The fork in each Morton fuel drain: has it run yet? From this stage on, everything hinges on a single answer. Not run, not even briefly: - Nowhere but that tank: that is where the petrol yet is. - Where the car sits is normally where the work is done: a drain, then a flush. - This is the best case — which is the whole point of stage one. If the motor has run, even for a moment: - Some petrol has left that tank by now, gone through the fuel filter, and reached the lines. - On a longer run it has got to your high-pressure pump and the injectors. - The further it went, the bigger this job — your lines, the fuel filter, and sometimes more besides. The line falls there since diesel lubricates your high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors on its way through them — and petrol does not. A tank of petrol, left still, hurts nothing. The components that move it are grinding the moment petrol is being pumped. ## What to have prepared when you call about petrol in a diesel from Morton A little preparation is the difference between a technician that finds you and a technician that circles. - Where you are. A postcode beginning DN22 8 is the best place to start. - Wherever you have pulled up, the road's name is useful — whether that's Old London Road or somewhere else — and so does the name of a car park. - Car parks are found more easily by what they serve: tell us the one outside Co-op Food, and it's simple. - That it's a diesel, plus the make and model of your vehicle. - What got in. Petrol, or AdBlue. AdBlue is a different job with its own page for Morton, and so say which. - About how much — in litres from the receipt, or by how long the nozzle stayed in. - Whether it has run. And if it has, how far plus how heavily. - Sort who owns your car ahead of when our engineers arrive: some hire or company contracts want the owner to approve this work, and doing it faster beforehand. Ring 0333 366 0103 once you have got that together — or, if the vehicle is at home, going nowhere, use . ## While you wait for a fuel drain around Morton In the wait, the damage comes from well-meant help — which is why these matter. - Where the car has stopped settles where you wait. Somewhere exposed: away from it, clear of the traffic. Safe: with it. Either way, safety before the vehicle. - Not to roll it a few yards, not to check it is all right, not as a passer-by's kindness: nobody starts it. - No additives. Two-stroke oil, injector cleaner, something from your boot — none of it gets the petrol back out. - Siphoning petrol into a can at the roadside is risky — and it also leaves whatever fuel has already gone beyond that tank. Don't try a home-made drain. - Ignition remains off. Even for the radio or the windows. ## Van arrived? The fuel drain, one step at a time - First, three questions: which fuel was put in, the volume, and has it run? Those answers decide the job, and so our price follows them. - Next that tank is emptied, and the tainted fuel is taken out. - If it ran, your lines are holding petrol that has moved beyond that tank — so they're cleaned. - Where the vehicle has a serviceable filter, it is swapped; if not, cleared. - Clean diesel in, and the fuel system primed. - Starting up. When your system is primed with new diesel, we fire it up and make sure it runs smoothly. The vehicle has clean diesel running through it before our technicians leave. The car goes back to normal use at once, and permanent damage is very rare if it has been spotted soon. ## After your fuel drain is done: driving around Morton a second time - Drive normally. There is nothing unusual to do after it has been started on fresh fuel. - Give the first miles your attention. Smoke showing, a warning light coming on, the idle going lumpy or your throttle stumbling: pull over and ring us back. - Hold on to the documents. A hire firm, a fleet manager or an insurer may ask what was done. - Read the label on the pump next time, not the colour of the handle. ## About Morton itself Morton is a small hamlet in Nottinghamshire, situated in the East Midlands region of England, with a population of around 1034 people.
