Bad fuel in your Audi A8? Diesel in your Petrol Audi?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Audi is a very common problem. And exactly what you should do about it depends upon several different factors. Assuming you want to find out what you ought to do to fix it then continue reading.
Here are the most crucial factors to be aware of whenever figuring out whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. How much Diesel did you put in to the Audi, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of the Audi A8 is usually roughly 80 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, less than 4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol A8 will generally not necessarily be a huge problem. Experience has shown us that an amount less than 4 litres (which is almost 5% of the overall fuel tank capacity) is usually capable of being adequately diluted by totally topping the remainder of the tank with the right fuel.
      It's very unusual to come across a car or truck having problems due to under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is uncommon - not impossible to encounter. There are a number of automobiles that won't stand any amount of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. In between 4 and 8 litres of Diesel in the Audi (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our working experience has proven that as many motorists get away with it as those people who break down. Whenever you are trying to decide whether to chance it and just simply fill it up consider that it is very much like wagering it all on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything above 8 litres of Diesel in your Petrol A8 must as soon as possible be drained out since your probability of getting away with that quantity of contamination is very likely less than one in 50 - extremely huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Audi and drove it: Have you seen any performance issues after putting the incorrect fuel in the A8? If you have, have it removed irrespective of the amount of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continuing to drive running a car that is now beginning to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will probably definitely end up in more harm affecting your fuel system.
3. Do you need security?
   You should get it emptied. No matter the contamination ratio, there is invariably a certain level of threat associated with running a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible final outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel include the motor not starting, running unevenly, lack of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, and so on. These are several of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them stop and have it drained asap.
