Accidentally putting diesel in a petrol tank is a serious issue that requires immediate action to avoid costly engine damage. If you've mistakenly filled your petrol vehicle with diesel, do not start the engine. Starting the car can circulate diesel through the fuel system, increasing the risk of damage.

The correct procedure starts with safely draining the tank. This typically involves removing the fuel tank or accessing it via the fuel line to extract all contaminated fuel. Professional fuel drainage services use specialized equipment to safely siphon the diesel-petrol mixture.

After draining, the tank and fuel lines should be flushed thoroughly to eliminate any residual diesel. It’s also advisable to replace the fuel filter, as it may have absorbed diesel during the incident. Once the system is clean, refill the tank with fresh petrol.

Always seek assistance from a qualified technician or fuel removal service, especially if the engine was started.

Is it the clutch that you want to bleed or the brakes? They are both fed from the same reservoir and are basically done in the same way. Get someone to sit in the car and pump the pedal. After a few pumps tell them to push the pedal down (with the clutch it will probably go right to the floor) and open the bleed nipple on the clutch cylinder/brake caliper. When the pedal goes to the floor fluid will bleed out (or air). Tighten the bleed nipple again and tell your helper to allow the pedal to return to the up position again. Repeat the process until your brake or clutch system is free of air.

A clutch sytem can also be gravity bled. Simply open the bleed screw on the cylinder (located behind the radiator more to the passenger side of the vehicle) and allow the fluid to drip through. Let it continue until a steady flow runs out. Make sure that you top up the reservoir as you do this!! Close the bleeder and try the clutch. Repeat if necessary.

Then, insert the new key and repeat the process, which should allow the new key to be programmed. If you encounter difficulties or if you don't have a working key, it's advisable to consult a professional locksmith or a Citroën dealer for assistance.
