Motor off. Keep the vehicle like that — no moment on, no shifting it at all. Drained and rinsed, just where it is: that's generally all an unrun diesel with petrol in it takes. Whether it stays that simple depends on the minutes to come more than on everything else. Below is the sequence from here, wherever in Victoria you are. ## Minute one: petrol in a diesel, motor off In this sequence, all before anything else: - Pull the keys out. Even your ignition on its own can prime the fuel system, drawing petrol out of your tank to exactly the parts it damages, and so leave it alone wholly. - A bigger tank of the same mix is all topping up leaves you, since it removes nothing. So no extra diesel. - Hazards on. If you're anywhere near moving traffic, make the car simple to see before you do anything else. - However short the distance, starting it to move it is the thing to avoid. At a forecourt, roll the car clear of the pump by hand instead, then ask the staff to lend a hand. - Hold on to the till receipt: the grade and roughly how much are printed on it, and they are what we ask about first. On the M62, under 10 miles from Victoria, the next junction is the spot to come off; anywhere, the first safe place to stop. Do not push on to the services. Then go back to step one. ## The fork in every Victoria fuel drain: has it run yet? From this stage on, everything comes down to a single answer. If your engine hasn't run at all: - All the petrol sits in your tank, and just there. - Usually it's drained and rinsed right where the vehicle is. - Being here is the best case — which is the whole point of step one. If it has been started, even for a second: - The fuel lines and the filter already hold petrol pulled out of that tank. - A bigger run carries it all the way to your high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors. - Miles is what turns it into a larger job: flushed lines, a filter seen to, and at times more than that. Why the line falls there: diesel protects your high-pressure pump as well as the fuel injectors as it passes through them, and petrol doesn't. Nothing is damaged by petrol that's just resting in a tank. Move the petrol, though, and it wears the very parts that move it. ## Before you call about petrol in a diesel around Victoria: what our engineers need A technician that circles versus a van that finds you: a little planning is the difference. - Where you are. A postcode beginning HD9 2 is the best start. - The road or the car park. A road name helps — Victoria Springs, or wherever you have pulled up. - What a car park serves is the quickest way to find it, so say the landmark — like the one outside Co-op Food. - The make and model of the vehicle, and the fact it's a diesel. - Petrol or AdBlue? Say which. They are different jobs, and AdBlue has its own Victoria page. - How long the nozzle was in, or the litres on your receipt — either gives us how much. - The distance it did, and how hard, if it ran at all. - The owner may have to authorise this work under some hire and company agreements — which is why it is faster to settle whose car it is before our technicians arrive. Phone 0333 366 0103 once you have got that ready — or, if the vehicle is at home, going nowhere, use . ## The wait for a Victoria fuel drain, and what to do in it Help, however well meant, is the thing that does the harm whilst you wait. So stick to these. - Stay with your car if it is safe where it is — but if it has stopped somewhere exposed, you come first: away from the traffic, waiting apart from it. - A kind passer-by does not fire it up. Nor does anybody checking it still does the trick, or moving it a few yards. - Additives remain in the boot. Injector cleaner and two-stroke oil take none of that petrol out again. - Clearing it yourself is out: a can of siphoned petrol on a verge is a danger, and the fuel beyond that tank stays where it is anyway. - Leave your ignition off — your windows and your radio included. ## Van arrived? The fuel drain, one stage at a time - First, three queries: which fuel got in, the quantity, and has it run? Those replies set this job, and so our price follows them. - Out of the tank comes the contaminated blend: that tank is cleared. - Cleaning the fuel lines comes next, because a motor that ran has petrol past that tank, inside the fuel lines themselves. - Then the fuel filter: changed where there is a workable one, cleared where there's not. - Fresh diesel goes in, and the system is primed. - First start on new diesel. When bleeding is finished, the engine is started and our engineers make sure that it runs smoothly. The vehicle has clean diesel running through it before our technicians go. When it has been noticed soon, permanent damage is very rare, and the car returns to normal driving straight away. ## After your fuel drain is done: driving in Victoria once more - Started on fresh diesel, it needs nothing unusual of you. Simply drive normally. - Watch the first miles. A warning light, smoke, a lumpy idle or a flat spot under the throttle tells you to pull over and ring us back. - Your documents answers the query a rental company, fleet manager or insurer may ask: what work was carried out. File it. - Check the label on the petrol pump next time, not the colour of the handle. ## About Victoria, for a moment Victoria is a suburban area situated on the lakeside in West Yorkshire, with a mix of detached housing and scenic views.
