Cadillac Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Cadillac is a regularly occurring mistake. And its solution will depend on a variety of things. In the event that you would like to find out what you should do about it then continue reading.
Here are the key factors to keep in mind whenever deciding whether to have your car drained:

  1. What amount of Diesel have you put in the Cadillac, bearing in mind that the fuel capacity of your Cadillac Allante is most likely around 84 litres?
    1. A tiny amount of Diesel, something like 4.2 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Allante will normally not really be a massive problem. Experience has taught us that an amount less than 4.2 litres (approximately 5% of the whole fuel tank capacity) is oftentimes able to be sufficiently diluted simply by completely filling up the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It is relatively unusual to come across a motor vehicle suffering from issues due to under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is rare - definitely not impossible to encounter. You can get a number of vehicles that won't endure any amount of contamination at all.
    2. Between 4.2 and 8.4 litres of Diesel in the Cadillac (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our expertise has confirmed that as many motorists get away with it as those who break down. Whenever you are deciding on whether or not to chance it and basically top it up consider that it is just like betting all of it on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
    3. Anything in excess of 8.4 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Allante should really as soon as possible be drained out since your likelihood of driving with that level of contamination is certainly lower than one in fifty - really long odds.
  2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Cadillac and drove it: Have you detected any kind of performance concerns ever since putting the wrong fuel in the Allante? If you have, get it emptied irrespective of the volume of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continually running an automobile that is currently starting to suffer the effect of fuel contamination can definitely end up in even more harm affecting your fuel system components.
  3. Are you interested in assurance?
    Simply get it emptied. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is invariably a certain level of threat resulting from running a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely final outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, lack of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, etc. These are a few of the commonest Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and in the event that you notice any of them stop and have it removed asap.

Refrain from having any jack-of-all-trades to try to fix your car. We are Cadillac specialists and hold the skills and experience necessary to make sure that you get back on the road with a minimum of hassle or worry.

Diesel in Petrol Questions

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.
