Wrong fuel in your Citroen C-Crosser? Diesel in your Petrol Citroen?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Citroen is a regularly occurring mistake to make. And what you have to do about it is determined by various factors. If you want to find out what you need to do about it then keep on reading.
Right here are the most important variables to take into account whenever making a decision whether to have it drained:

1. How much Diesel have you put in to the Citroen, considering that the fuel tank capacity of your Citroen C-Crosser is normally approximately 60 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Diesel, less than 3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol C-Crosser will in most cases not be a significant problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that an amount under 3 litres (roughly 5% of the whole fuel tank) is sometimes capable of being sufficiently diluted through completely filling the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's very unusual to come across a car or truck going through issues with less than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is very uncommon - not impossible to encounter. There are certain cars that don't endure any degree of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 3 and 6 litres of Diesel in the Citroen (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our practical experience has proven that as many drivers get away with this as those who break down. Any time you are deciding upon whether or not to chance it and basically fill it up bear in mind that it is much like wagering everything on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything in excess of 6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol C-Crosser really should as soon as possible be drained as your likelihood of getting away with this quantity of contamination is more than likely less than one in 50 - really big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Citroen and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance troubles as a result of putting the wrong fuel in your C-Crosser? If that's the case, get it emptied irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Still running a car that is now beginning to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination will probably typically end up in more and more harm affecting the fuel system parts.
3. Are you interested in security?
   Then simply just get it emptied. No matter the contamination ratio, there is always a certain level of danger associated with operating a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel. Likely implications of driving on the wrong fuel include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or bunged injectors, and the like. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you recognise any of them stop and get it removed asap.
