Stop; leave the car off. Hasn't been run? Then petrol in a diesel will usually be a straightforward drain-and-flush job wherever the vehicle has stopped — and no other factor decides that as much as these next few minutes do. Anywhere you are in Wellnage Myre, here is the order things run from here. ## Petrol in a diesel, motor off — the first minute Go through the following in sequence, first. - Priming your fuel system draws petrol from your tank toward the parts it harms, and turning your ignition on can be all it takes to do that. So your keys get taken out, and the ignition stays off completely. - A fuller tank of the same mix is all topping up gives you, since it takes out nothing. So no extra diesel. - Hazard lights on. If you're anywhere near moving traffic, make the vehicle easy to see before you do anything else. - However short the distance, starting it to shift it is the mistake. On a forecourt, push the car clear of the petrol pump by hand instead, then ask the staff to lend a hand. - Which fuel, and about how much? Your receipt replies both, and that is where our questions start. Do not throw it away. Still driving when you realised? Come off the M8 at the next exit if that's where you are, under 50 miles from Wellnage Myre, and pull over somewhere sensible rather than pressing on to the services. Then start at stage one. ## Has it run yet? The fork in each Wellnage Myre fuel drain From this stage on, everything hinges on a single answer. Not run, not even once: - No place but your tank: that's where the petrol yet is. - The job is a drain and a flush, normally done where your car stands. - Step one counts for exactly this reason: it's the best place to be in. If your motor has run, even briefly: - The fuel lines and your filter already hold petrol pulled out of that tank. - Run it farther and that petrol reaches your injectors, having passed through your pump first. - The farther it went, the bigger this job — the fuel lines, your filter, and now and then more besides. Petrol doesn't lubricate. Diesel does, oiling the pump and injectors as it flows through, which is why the line sits where it does. Petrol resting in a tank damages nothing. Pump the petrol, though, and it wears the very parts that move it. ## Wellnage Myre, petrol in a diesel: have these ready before you call Get ready a little, and the van finds you rather than circling. - The ideal start is a postcode — one beginning TD11 3 — for where you are. - Wherever you have pulled up, the road's name helps — whether that is Trinity Gardens or somewhere else — and so does the name of a car park. - Car parks are found most easily by what they serve: tell us the one at The Co-operative Food, and it is simple. - That it's a diesel, plus the make and model of the vehicle. - Petrol or AdBlue? Say which. They are different jobs, and AdBlue has its own Wellnage Myre page. - The amount: the receipt's litres, or else how long you had the nozzle in. - The mileage it covered, and how heavily, if it ran at all. - Whose motor it is. Some hire and company contracts want the owner to approve this work, and that is easier settled before our technicians arrive than after. Next, 0333 366 0103. Not pressing, the vehicle left at home with nowhere to be? Then will do too. ## The wait for a Wellnage Myre fuel drain, and what to do in it In the wait, the harm comes from kindly meant help — so these matter. - Wait with the car if it's safe where it is — but if it has stopped somewhere exposed, you come first: away from the traffic, waiting apart from it. - A helpful passer-by does not crank it. Nor does anyone wanting to check 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 the petrol out a second time. - Siphoning petrol into a can at the roadside is hazardous — and it still leaves whatever fuel has already gone beyond your tank. Don't drain it yourself. - Keep your ignition off — your windows and the radio too. ## The fuel drain, step by step, once the van arrives - Our price comes after three questions, not before them — what was put in, how much, and if it's run — since the answers shape the job. - Next the tank is emptied, and the polluted fuel is taken out. - Petrol that has shifted beyond your tank travels in the fuel lines once it ran, and your lines are flushed to shift it. - The filter is dealt with. Cleared, or swapped where your car has a serviceable one. - Your system is primed on clean diesel. - Starting it. Once your system is bled with new diesel, our engineers fire it up and check it runs properly. Our technicians stay until it is running on fresh diesel. Permanent damage is very rare if it has been spotted early, so the car can go right back to normal use. ## Wellnage Myre, after the fuel drain: back on the road - Drive normally. There's nothing special to do once it's been started on clean fuel. - Keep an eye on the first miles. A warning light, smoke, a rough idle or a flat spot under the throttle tells you to pull over and call us back. - An insurer, a fleet manager or a hire company may ask what was carried out, so keep your paperwork. - Next time, trust the petrol pump's label instead of the colour of its handle. ## About Wellnage Myre, for a moment Wellnage Myre is a locality in the Scottish Borders, situated inland at an elevation of 137 metres, approximately 35 miles from Edinburgh.
