Incorrect fuel in your Citroen Berlingo? Diesel in your Petrol Citroen?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Citroen is a usual error. And what you need to do about it hinges on a variety of factors. In the event that you want to know what you ought to do to fix it then stay with me.
Listed here are the most important factors to be aware of whenever deciding on whether to have a fuel drain:

1. How much Diesel did you put into the Citroen, taking into account that the fuel capacity of the Citroen Berlingo is usually around 60 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, as little as 3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Berlingo will in most situations not really be a huge problem. Experience has taught us that anything under 3 litres (roughly 5% of the whole fuel tank capacity) is often capable of being sufficiently diluted by wholly topping up the tank with Petrol.
      It's highly unusual to find a vehicle having difficulties with under 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Be aware that it's infrequently found - not impossible to find. There are a number of vehicles that don't endure any level of contamination at all.
   2. Anywhere between 3 and 6 litres of Diesel in the Citroen (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our working experience has proven that as many motorists get away with this as those people who break down. Whenever deciding on whether to risk it and simply fill it up consider that it is very much like wagering all of it on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything over 6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Berlingo should promptly be drained out seeing as your probability of driving with that quantity of contamination is almost certainly less than one in 50 - extremely long odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Citroen and drove it: Have you noticed any performance problems as a result of putting the wrong fuel in the Berlingo? If so, have it drained irrespective of the amount of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continuing to drive running a car that is beginning to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination will likely be responsible for even more harm affecting the fuel system.
3. Are you looking for peace of mind?
   Then get it emptied. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is always some degree of threat resulting from running a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable results of driving on the wrong fuel include the motor not starting, running unevenly, decrease in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, and so forth. These are some of the most common Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and if you recognise any of them stop and have it removed immediately.
