Audi Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Audi is a regularly occurring mistake. And its remedy is dependent upon a variety of things. In the event that you would like to know what you have to do about this then keep on reading.
Listed below are the most important variables to take into account when deciding on whether or not to get a fuel drain:

  1. How much Diesel have you put into the Audi, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of your Audi A6 Hybrid is normally approximately 73 litres?
    1. Hardly any Diesel, less than 3.65 litres of Diesel in a Petrol A6 Hybrid will typically not really be a massive problem. Experience has taught us that quantities less than 3.65 litres (5% of the fuel tank capacity) is oftentimes capable of being completely diluted simply by entirely topping the rest of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It is very rare to encounter a car or truck having difficulties with below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it's unusual - not impossible to find. There are certain cars that won't endure any amount of fuel contamination at all.
    2. Somewhere between 3.65 and 7.3 litres of Diesel in the Audi (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our working experience has shown us that as many drivers get away with this as those people who break down. When you are deciding whether or not to chance it and simply top it up recognise that it is much like gambling your car on black - you have got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
    3. Anything more than 7.3 litres of Diesel in your Petrol A6 Hybrid ought to immediately be drained out seeing that your likelihood of succeeding with that level of contamination is probably less than one in fifty - definitely huge odds.
  2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Audi and drove it: Have you noticed any kind of performance issues after putting the bad fuel in the A6 Hybrid? In that case, get it emptied no matter the volume of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continually running an automobile that is already beginning to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination will probably just end up in more and more damage affecting the fuel system components.
  3. Would you like assurance?
    Then simply just get it drained. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is invariably some degree of risk caused by running a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely final outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel can include the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, and the like. These are a few of the most common Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and should you recognise any of them then stop driving and have it drained right now.

Diesel in Petrol FAQs

When someone has put Diesel in a Petrol car they have a few very common questions. So we have compiled a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions for you

I put Diesel in a Petrol car and drove it. What do I do?

Answer

Turn off the car as soon as possible and call us. Continuing to run a vehicle on the wrong fuel can potentially damage it. We will be able to give you advice and assistance based on your circumstances

Will driving a Petrol car on Diesel cause damage to it?

Answer

It can. However, if the problem is caught and remedied quickly the risks will be minimal. Of the 1,500 vehicles we attend every month, less than 0.5% have suffered and substantial damage requiring parts replacement.

How much Diesel can I get away with in a Petrol car?

Answer

The safe answer is none. However you might be able to get away with a very low contamination ratio. That being said, we always highly recommend draining anything over a 5% contamination ratio asap.

I know about petrol in diesel, but what about Super Unleaded?

Answer

Putting Super Unleaded, or Shell V-Power, BP Ultimate Unleaded, etc, will have the exact same effect as putting regular unleaded petrol in your diesel car and will need to be drained out and flushed.

Will getting you to do a fuel drain void my warranty?

Answer

No! The EU Block Exemption Regulations clearly state that "the work can be carried out by as long as that garage uses manufacturer approved parts and correctly follows the manufacturer's service schedule."

Can I top it up with Petrol and add some 2-stroke oil?

Answer

This might work on some vehicles in some cases, but in the majority on instances it won't and you risk damaging the Lambda sensors as well as fuel pump and injectors, just as a regular misfuel.
