Audi Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Audi is a well-known problem. And its remedy is based on an assortment of things. If you want to find out what you have to do about it then read on.
Let us discuss the most crucial variables to consider when making a decision whether or not to have it drained:

  1. Exactly how much Diesel have you put in to the Audi, taking into account that the fuel capacity of your Audi TT Quattro is in most cases about 60 litres?
    1. A small quantity of Diesel, less than 3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol TT Quattro will in most cases not be a huge problem. Experience has shown us that an amount less than 3 litres (approximately 5% of the whole fuel tank) is generally able to be sufficiently diluted by wholly topping up the remainder of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It is highly uncommon to find a vehicle having difficulties with under 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Please remember it's uncommon - in no way impossible to find. There are actually a number of automobiles that won't stand any level of fuel contamination whatsoever.
    2. Between 3 and 6 litres of Diesel in the Audi (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our expertise demonstrates that as many people get away with it as those people who break down. When trying to decide whether or not to risk it and simply fill it up remember that it is the same as betting your car on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
    3. Anything above 6 litres of Diesel in your Petrol TT Quattro must promptly be removed seeing that your likelihood of getting away with that level of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in fifty - truly long odds.
  2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Audi and drove it: Have you noted any kind of performance concerns ever since putting the incorrect fuel in your TT Quattro? If you have, have it emptied irrespective of the volume of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Still driving a vehicle that is already beginning to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination will probably only end up in even more harm being done to your fuel system components.
  3. Would you like assurance?
    Then get it drained. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is invariably a certain level of threat linked with operating a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Likely consequences of driving on the wrong fuel can include the motor not starting, running lumpy, lack of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, etc. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and in the event that you notice any of them stop driving and get it removed right away.

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.
