Chrysler Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Chrysler is a well-known mistake. And its solution is dependent upon a few things. In the event that you want to find out what you need to do about this then stay with me.
Listed here the key variables to think about whenever deciding on whether to get your car drained:

  1. What amount of Diesel did you put in to the Chrysler, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Chrysler Saratoga is most likely around 61 litres?
    1. Hardly any Diesel, something like 3.05 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Saratoga will generally not be a significant problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that quantities under 3.05 litres (5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is oftentimes capable of being adequately diluted by means of entirely topping up the remainder of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It's highly rare to find an automobile suffering from problems because of under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Be aware that it's uncommon - definitely not impossible to encounter. There are actually a few cars that don't endure any amount of contamination at all.
    2. Somewhere between 3.05 and 6.1 litres of Diesel in the Chrysler (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our practical experience has confirmed that as many people get away with it as all those who break down. When deciding on whether or not to chance it and basically fill it up consider that it is the same thing as betting it all on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
    3. Anything in excess of 6.1 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Saratoga ought to promptly be drained because your likelihood of succeeding with this quantity of contamination is probably less than one in fifty - seriously big odds.
  2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Chrysler and drove it: Have you detected any performance problems since putting the bad fuel in the Saratoga? In that case, get it emptied no matter the quantity of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continually driving a vehicle that is currently starting to suffer the effects of fuel contamination will just end up in progressively more harm affecting the fuel system.
  3. Are you looking for security?
    Then get it emptied. No matter the contamination ratio, there is always a certain level of threat resulting from operating a Petrol vehicle on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Probable final outcomes of driving on the incorrect fuel normally include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or bunged injectors, etc. These are some of the commonest Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you recognise any of them then stop driving and get it drained immediately.

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?

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.
