Engine off. Leave it that way — no moment on, no shifting it at all. Cleared and flushed, right where it is: that is normally all an unrun diesel with petrol in it needs. Whether it stays that simple rests on the minutes ahead more than on everything else. What follows is the order from this point, wherever in Rosemarket you are. ## Petrol in a diesel? What to do in minute one In this order, all before everything else: - Keys out of the ignition. Turning the ignition on can be enough to prime your fuel system, while priming draws petrol out of your tank toward the components it harms. Keep the car off completely. - Topping up with diesel sounds like it thins the problem. It doesn't: nothing comes out, and the tank just carries more of the same. - Being seen comes before the rest near moving traffic: switch the hazard lights on, and only then deal with anything else. - However short the way, starting it to move it is the thing to avoid. On a forecourt, push the car away from the petrol pump by hand instead, and ask the attendants to lend a hand. - Which fuel, and about how much? Your receipt answers that, and that's where our first question starts. Never bin it. On the M4, under 50 miles from Rosemarket, the next junction is the location to come off; anywhere, the first sensible location to stop. Do not press on to the services. Then go back to stage one. ## Each Rosemarket fuel drain starts here: has your engine run? From this stage on, everything comes down to a single answer. If the engine has not run at all: - The petrol is still in that tank and nowhere else. - Where the car stands is usually where the work is done: a drain, then a flush. - Step one counts for precisely this reason: it's the best place to be in. Run at all, even for a second: - From the tank, through the fuel filter, into the fuel lines: that's how far the petrol has got. - A longer run takes it all the way to your high-pressure pump and your injectors. - Mileage is what turns it into a larger job: the lines flushed, a filter seen to, and at times more than that. The reason the line falls there: diesel lubricates your high-pressure pump as well as your injectors as it passes through them, and petrol doesn't. In your tank, left alone, petrol harms nothing. Petrol being pumped is grinding down the components that move it. ## Before you call about petrol in a diesel in Rosemarket: what our engineers need Whether the van circles or finds you depends on a little preparation. - SA73 1 and the remainder of the postcode makes the best way to start telling us where you are. - A road name is a help: Lucy Walters Close, say, or whichever street you've stopped in. A car park works too. - What a car park serves is the quickest way to find it, so say the landmark — such as the one at Nisa Local. - That it's a diesel, plus the make and model of the vehicle. - What went in. Petrol, or AdBlue. AdBlue is a different job with its own page for Rosemarket, and so tell us which. - About how much — in litres from the receipt, or by how long the nozzle was in. - Has it run? If so, tell us how far it went, and how it was driven. - Sort who owns the vehicle before our technicians turn up: some hire or company agreements want the owner to approve the work, and that is faster first. Then ring 0333 366 0103. If it can wait — your car is at home with going nowhere — works as well. ## The wait for a Rosemarket fuel drain, and what to do in it The wait is where well-meant help does the harm. Stick to these. - Your safety comes before your car. Somewhere unsafe? Get clear of the traffic then wait away from it. Safe where it stands? Wait with it. - Nobody — however helpful — starts it, whether to see if it runs or to shift the car a short way. - None of that gets that petrol back out — not two-stroke oil, not injector cleaner, not anything from your boot. So no additives. - Draining it yourself is out: a can of siphoned petrol on a verge is a danger, and the fuel beyond the tank remains put anyway. - Leave the ignition off — your windows and the radio included. ## When the van arrives: your fuel drain, step by step - First, three questions: which fuel got in, the quantity, and has it run? Those replies shape the job, and so our price follows them. - Out of that tank comes the contaminated blend: that tank is drained. - The lines are rinsed. If it ran, the petrol has moved beyond your tank, and the lines are holding it. - Where the car has a serviceable filter, it is changed; if not, cleared. - Clean diesel in, and your system primed. - The start-up. With clean diesel in and your system primed, it's started and tested to confirm it runs smoothly. Your car has clean diesel running through it before our engineers go. Permanent damage is very uncommon when it has been spotted early, so the vehicle can go straight back to normal driving. ## Back on the road around Rosemarket after your fuel drain - Drive normally. There's nothing unusual to do after it's been started on fresh fuel. - Give the first miles your attention. Smoke showing, a warning light coming on, your idle going lumpy or your throttle hesitating: pull over and call us back. - An insurer, a fleet manager or a hire company may ask what was carried out, and so keep your documents. - Check the label on the pump next time, not the colour of the handle. ## About Rosemarket, briefly Rosemarket is a small village in Pembrokeshire, situated on the coast of Wales at an elevation of 54 metres.
