Engine off. Keep the car that way — no second on, no moving it anywhere. Petrol in a diesel that has not been run is normally a drain plus a flush, done right where the vehicle stands, and what happens in the next few minutes decides that more than anything else. Anywhere you are around Studley Green, here is how things run from here. ## Petrol in a diesel? What to do in minute one Before anything else, the following — in this sequence. - Pull your keys out. Even your ignition on its own can prime the system, drawing petrol out of the tank to exactly the components it harms, so keep the car alone wholly. - Don't top it up with diesel. Adding diesel removes nothing. You end up with a bigger tank of the same mixture. - Hazard lights on. If you're anywhere near moving traffic, make the vehicle easy to see before you do anything else. - Off the pump by hand. On a forecourt, ask the staff to help you push the vehicle away from the petrol pump. Do not crank it to move it, however short the way. - Hold on to your receipt. It says which fuel got in plus about how much, which is the first thing we'll ask. Noticed on the move? Get off at the next junction if you are on the M4, under 15 miles from Studley Green, and stop somewhere sensible — not at the services further on. Stage one comes after that. ## Studley Green fuel drain: has the engine run yet, or not? What happens next rests on one answer, and only one. Not run, not even once: - That petrol is still inside the tank and nowhere else. - The job is a simple drain and a flush, normally done where the vehicle stands. - Being here is as good as it gets — which is the entire point of step one. Run at all, even for a second: - The fuel lines and the filter already carry petrol pulled out of the tank. - A bigger run carries it all the way to your high-pressure pump and the injectors. - The farther it went, the larger the job — the fuel lines, the filter, and sometimes more besides. The reason the line falls there: diesel lubricates your high-pressure pump as well as the fuel injectors as it flows through them, and petrol doesn't. Nothing is damaged by petrol that's only waiting in a tank. Once it's pumped, petrol starts grinding whatever moves it. ## Studley Green, petrol in a diesel: have these prepared before you call A little preparation is the difference between a van that finds you and a van that circles. - The ideal start is a postcode — one beginning BA14 9 — for where you have stopped. - Wherever you have pulled up, the road's name helps — whether that is Farleigh Avenue or somewhere else — and so does the name of a car park. - Car parks are located more easily by what they serve: tell us the one at Aldi, and it is straightforward. - That it is a diesel, along with the make and model of your car. - Tell us which got in — petrol or AdBlue — because AdBlue is a separate job, with a page of its own for Studley Green. - The quantity: the receipt's litres, or else how long you held the nozzle in. - Whether it's run. And if it has, how far and how heavily. - Settle who owns the car ahead of when we arrive: some hire or company contracts want the owner to approve the work, and doing it quicker beforehand. Phone 0333 366 0103 once you've got that ready — or, if your car is at home, going nowhere, use . ## Studley Green fuel drain on its way? Whilst you wait The wait is where kindly meant help does the damage. Hold to these. - Where the car has stopped decides where you wait. Exposed: away from it, away from the traffic. Safe: with it. Either way, safety before the car. - No one — however helpful — starts it, whether to see if it runs or to shift the car a short way. - Additives remain in the boot. Injector cleaner and two-stroke oil draw none of that petrol out once more. - No home-made clearing. Siphoning petrol into a can at the roadside is hazardous, and it leaves the fuel that has already gone beyond the tank. - Even your radio or your windows are not worth turning the ignition on for. ## The fuel drain, step by step, after our van arrives - Fuel, amount, whether it's run: the answers set the job, and that is why we give a price after them instead of before. - Your tank is emptied. The contaminated mixture comes from the tank. - Petrol that has moved beyond that tank travels in the fuel lines if it ran, and your lines are rinsed to shift it. - Cleared, or replaced if the vehicle has a serviceable one: the fuel filter is dealt with next. - Bleeding your system follows once fresh diesel is in. - The start. With fresh diesel in and your system bled, it's started and tested to be sure it runs correctly. Your car has new diesel running through it before our engineers leave. It's very unusual for a vehicle spotted soon to be left with permanent damage, and normal use starts again right away. ## Once the fuel drain is done: driving around Studley Green a second time - Nothing special is needed after a start with fresh diesel — usual driving will do. - Pull over and call us back if anything looks wrong early on — a light on the dash, smoke from your exhaust, an idle that is lumpy, or a throttle with a dead spot. - Your paperwork covers the question a rental company, fleet manager or insurer may ask: what work was carried out. File it. - Read the label on the petrol pump next time, not the colour of the handle. ## About Studley Green itself Studley Green is a suburban area in Wiltshire, situated on the riverside at an elevation of 38 metres, with semi-detached housing being the predominant type of accommodation.
