Petrol in a diesel that hasn't been run is normally a drain and a flush, done where the car sits, and what happens in the next few minutes settles that more than anything else. Wherever you are in Wyre Piddle, this is the order things run from now. ## Minute one: petrol in a diesel, motor off First, these — in this sequence. - Bleeding the system draws petrol from the tank towards the components it damages, and turning the ignition on can be enough to do that. So the keys get taken out, and your ignition stays off completely. - Topping up with diesel seems like it dilutes the issue. It doesn't: nothing gets out, and that tank just carries more of the same. - Visibility comes before the rest beside moving traffic: put the hazards on, and only then think about everything else. - By hand, never under the engine: that's how it leaves the petrol pump. Ask the forecourt attendants to help you push, however short the distance. - The first question we will ask is which fuel went in and roughly how much — and the receipt shows both. Hold on to it. Noticed on the move? Get off at the next junction if you are on the M5, under 10 miles from Wyre Piddle, and pull over somewhere safe — not at the services further on. Step one comes after that. ## The fork in every Wyre Piddle fuel drain: has it run yet? What happens next rests on one answer, and just one. Motor not run at all? - Nowhere but that tank: that's where that petrol yet is. - Usually it's emptied and rinsed right where the car is. - This is as good as it gets — which is the entire point of step one. If the motor has run, even for a moment: - From your tank, through the filter, into the fuel lines: that is how far the petrol has travelled. - Run it further and that petrol reaches the injectors, having passed through your pump first. - The job expands with the miles — lines cleaned, filter sorted, sometimes more. The reason the line falls there: diesel protects the high-pressure pump and the injectors as it flows through them, and petrol does not. A tank of petrol, left alone, damages nothing. Petrol being pumped is grinding down the parts that shift the car. ## Wyre Piddle, 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 WR10 2 — for where you have stopped. - A road name helps: Ryelands, say, or whatever street you have stopped in. A car park does the trick too. - Car parks are found most easily by what they serve: tell us the one outside Co-op Food, and it is easy. - The car. Make, model, and that it is a diesel. - Which was put in matters: AdBlue is a separate job from petrol, and Wyre Piddle has a page just for that. So tell us. - How much. Litres from your receipt, or how long the nozzle was in. - Has it run? If so, tell us how far it went, and the way it was driven. - Whose vehicle it is. Some hire and company agreements want the owner to approve this work, and that is quicker settled before our technicians get there than after. Then call 0333 366 0103. If it can wait — the vehicle is at home with going nowhere — does the trick as well. ## While you wait for a fuel drain around Wyre Piddle The wait is where well-intended help does the damage. Hold to these. - Wait with the vehicle 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. - No one starts it. Not a passer-by being helpful, not to check it is all right, not to roll the car a few yards. - Anything from your boot, oil made for two-strokes or injector cleaner: no additive lifts that petrol. - 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 regardless. - The ignition remains off. Even for the radio or your windows. ## When the van arrives: the fuel drain, step by step - Our price comes after three queries, not before them — what went in, how much, and whether it has run — since those answers set this job. - Clearing it's how that blend gets taken from your tank. - Flushing the fuel lines follows, since a motor that ran has petrol past your tank, in your lines themselves. - Cleared, or swapped if the car has a usable one: your filter is seen to next. - Fresh diesel goes in, then the fuel system is primed. - Starting up. When your system is primed with new diesel, our technicians fire it up and make sure it runs properly. The vehicle has new diesel running through it before we go. It is very unusual for a vehicle spotted quickly to be left with permanent damage, and normal driving resumes right away. ## After the fuel drain: back on the road in Wyre Piddle - Started on new diesel, it needs nothing unusual of you. Simply drive normally. - Pull over and ring us back if anything looks wrong early on — a light on your dash, smoke from the exhaust, an idle that is lumpy, or a throttle with a dead spot. - The work may matter later with a hire company, an insurer or a fleet manager. Hold on to your documents. - Read the label on the petrol pump next time, not the colour of its handle. ## About Wyre Piddle itself Wyre Piddle is a village in Worcestershire, situated on the banks of the River Avon at an elevation of around 23 metres.
