Here Is What Happens Pause, and keep the engine off — not on, and not for a moment to shift the car. The coming few minutes decide it more than anything else: petrol in a diesel that has not run normally amounts to emptying and purging, right there. From now on, in order, wherever you are around New Holland: ## Minute one: petrol in a diesel, motor off First, these — following this sequence. - Priming the fuel system draws petrol from the tank towards the parts it damages, and switching your ignition on can be all it takes to do that. So the keys come out, and your ignition stays off altogether. - Topping up with diesel sounds like it thins the problem. It doesn't: nothing gets out, and the tank just carries more of the same. - Get the car easy to see first — hazard lights on — if there is traffic going past anywhere close to you. - The attendants will generally help you roll it clear of the pump. Ask, and move it by hand — not under your engine, even for a few yards. - Hold on to the receipt. It says which fuel got in plus roughly how much, which is the first thing we will ask. On the M180, under 10 miles from New Holland, the next junction is the place to leave the vehicle; elsewhere, the first safe location to stop. Don't press on to the services. Then go back to stage one. ## Has it run yet? The fork in each New Holland fuel drain What comes next rests on one answer, and just one. If it has never been started: - Nowhere but that tank: that is where that petrol still is. - Draining and flushing, on the spot, is usually the whole job. - This, here, is the best position to be in, and the whole reason stage one matters. Run at all, however briefly: - The lines and the fuel filter already carry petrol drawn out of the tank. - On a bigger run it has reached the high-pressure fuel pump and the fuel injectors. - Mileage is what turns it into a bigger job: the lines flushed, a filter seen to, and at times further work. The reason the line falls there: diesel lubricates your high-pressure pump as well as the fuel injectors as it passes through them, and petrol doesn't. In your tank, sitting still, petrol harms nothing. Move the petrol, though, and it grinds down the very parts doing the moving. ## Before you call about petrol in a diesel in New Holland: what our engineers need Whether the van circles or finds you depends on a little planning. - Your whereabouts: a postcode starting DN19 7 serves best. - Name the road — Oxmarsh Lane or wherever you have pulled up — or the car park. - Name a car park by what it serves — the one outside Lincolnshire Co-op, for instance — and it is much quicker to find. - Make and model of the car, and the fact it's a diesel. - Tell us which got in — petrol or AdBlue — because AdBlue is a separate job, with a page of its own for New Holland. - How long the nozzle was in, or the litres from the receipt — whichever gives us how much. - Has it run? If so, say how far it got, and how it was driven. - Settle who has the car ahead of when our technicians arrive: some hire and company agreements want the owner to authorise the work, and doing it faster first. Call 0333 366 0103 then. Writing to is fine too if it can wait, with the vehicle left at home, going nowhere. ## New Holland fuel drain on its way? While you wait In the wait, the damage comes from well-meant help — so these count. - Your safety comes before the vehicle. Somewhere dangerous? Get away from the traffic and wait away from it. Safe where it is? Wait with it. - Nobody starts it. Not a passer-by being kind, not to check it is all right, not to roll the car a few yards. - None of it gets that petrol back out — not two-stroke oil, not injector cleaner, not anything from your boot. So no additives. - A home-made drain leaves the fuel that has already gone beyond your tank, and siphoning petrol by the road is hazardous too. - Not for the radio, not for your windows: the ignition remains off. ## Van arrived? The fuel drain, one stage at a time - Our quote comes after three queries, not before them — what got in, how much, and if it's run — because those replies shape the job. - Out of the tank comes the polluted mix: that tank is emptied. - Petrol that has shifted beyond that tank travels in the fuel lines if it ran, and the fuel lines are cleaned to shift it. - Cleared, or swapped if the vehicle has a workable one: the fuel filter is seen to next. - Priming follows after fresh diesel is in. - Starting the car. Once your system is primed with fresh diesel, we start the engine and make sure it runs properly. The vehicle has new diesel running through it before we go. It's very rare for a vehicle spotted early to be left with lasting damage, and normal use starts again at once. ## Back on the road around New Holland after your fuel drain - After it has been started on clean fuel, there's nothing special to do: 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 and call us a second time. - Your documents answers the query a rental company, fleet manager or insurer may ask: what work was carried out. Keep it. - Next time, go by the petrol pump's label instead of the colour of its handle. ## About New Holland itself New Holland is a small village on the coast of Lincolnshire, situated near the Humber Estuary and close to the city of Kingston upon Hull.
