Pause; leave the car off. Drained then flushed, right where it is: that is usually all an unrun diesel with petrol in it needs. Whether it remains that simple depends on the minutes to come far more than on everything else. Below is the order from here, anywhere around Tannery Yard you happen to be. ## Petrol in a diesel? What to do in minute one Work through these before anything else, in this sequence. - Priming the system pulls petrol from the tank toward the parts it damages, and turning the ignition on can be enough to do that. So the keys get taken out, and your ignition stays off altogether. - Don't top it up with diesel. Adding diesel takes out nothing. You are left with a bigger tank of the same mix. - Hazard lights on. If you are at all near moving traffic, make your car simple to see before you do anything else. - Off the pump by hand. On a forecourt, ask the attendants to help you roll the car clear of the petrol pump. Do not crank it to move it, however short the distance. - Which fuel, and about how much? Your receipt replies both, and that's where our questions start. Never bin it. Realised on the move? Get off at the next exit if you are on the M621, under 3 miles from Tannery Yard, and pull over somewhere sensible — not at the services further on. Step one comes after that. ## Every Tannery Yard fuel drain starts here: has the motor run? One answer is what everything after this point depends on. Engine not run at all? - The petrol remains in that tank, and only there. - Where the vehicle stands is usually where the work is done: a drain, then a flush. - Being here is as good as it gets — which is the whole point of stage one. If your engine has been run, even briefly: - Out of your tank, through the filter, into your lines: that is how far the petrol has got. - On a bigger run it has got to your high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors. - The job expands with the mileage — lines purged, filter dealt with, occasionally more. Why the line falls there: diesel protects your high-pressure pump as well as the fuel injectors as it flows through them, and petrol doesn't. A tank of petrol, left alone, damages nothing. As soon as it is pumped, petrol begins wearing down whatever moves it. ## What to have prepared when you call about petrol in a diesel from Tannery Yard Whether the technician circles or finds you depends on a little planning. - Your location: a postcode starting LS13 4 works best. - Wherever you have parked, the road's name is useful — whether that's Hough End Gardens or somewhere else — and so does the name of a car park. - Car parks are located most easily by what they serve: tell us the one at Aldi, and it's simple. - The car. Make, model, plus that it's a diesel. - What got in. Petrol, or AdBlue. AdBlue is a separate job with its own page for Tannery Yard, and so say which. - Roughly 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 got, and the way it was driven. - Whose motor it is. Some hire or company agreements want the owner to authorise this work, and that is easier settled before we turn up than after. Call 0333 366 0103 once you have got that together — or, if the vehicle is at home, going nowhere, use . ## Waiting for a fuel drain around Tannery Yard: what to do Hold to these: well-meant help causes the damage during the wait. - Safety before the car. If it has stopped somewhere dangerous, get yourself away from the traffic then wait away from it. If it is safe where it sits, wait with it. - No one — however helpful — starts it, whether to see if it runs or to move the vehicle a short way. - None of that takes the petrol back out — not two-stroke oil, not injector cleaner, not anything from the boot. So no additives. - Emptying it yourself is not the answer: a can of siphoned petrol on a verge is a danger, and the fuel beyond that tank remains put all the same. - Ignition remains off. Even for your radio or your windows. ## Step by step: the fuel drain when our van gets there - Three questions. What got in, how much, and if it's run. The replies decide this job, which is why the price comes after them but not before. - Then that tank is drained, and the tainted fuel comes out. - Purging your lines follows, because a motor that ran has petrol past your tank, inside the fuel lines themselves. - Cleaned, or changed if the car has a workable one: the filter is sorted next. - Fresh diesel goes in, then the fuel system is primed. - First start on clean diesel. Once priming is complete, your engine is started and our engineers check that it runs properly. The car has clean diesel running through it before we go. It's very rare for a car spotted early to be left with lasting damage, and normal driving resumes at once. ## After your fuel drain is done: driving in Tannery Yard a second time - After it has been started on fresh fuel, there is nothing unusual to do: drive normally. - Pull over and call us back if anything seems wrong early on — a light on the dash, smoke from your exhaust, an idle that is lumpy, or a throttle with a dead spot. - The work may matter later with a hire firm, an insurer or a fleet manager. Keep the documents. - Check the label on the petrol pump next time, not the colour of the handle. ## About Tannery Yard and where it is Tannery Yard is a suburban area located on the riverside in West Yorkshire, sitting at an elevation of 96 metres and approximately 3.2 miles from Leeds.
