Incorrect fuel in a Citroen C1? Diesel in your Petrol Citroen?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Citroen is a regularly occurring problem. And its remedy hinges on an assortment of things. Assuming you would like to find out what you ought to do about this then read on.
Let us discuss the main factors to take into consideration whenever determining whether or not to get the car drained:

1. What amount of Diesel did you put in the Citroen, taking into account that the fuel capacity of your Citroen C1 is in most cases approximately 35 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, as little as 1.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol C1 will in most situations not necessarily be a significant problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that an amount under 1.75 litres (about 5% of the whole fuel tank capacity) is in many instances capable of being completely diluted by thoroughly topping the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It is quite uncommon to encounter an automobile suffering from issues due to under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it is very infrequently found - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are actually some automobiles that won't stand any degree of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Anywhere between 1.75 and 3.5 litres of Diesel in the Citroen (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our practical experience has shown that as many people get away with it as those people who don't. When you are trying to decide whether to chance it and just simply fill it up bear in mind that it is much like wagering everything on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything more than 3.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol C1 really should straight away be drained out seeing as your probability of driving with this level of contamination is undoubtedly lower than one in fifty - genuinely long odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Citroen and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance troubles since putting the incorrect fuel in your C1? If that's the case, have it drained no matter the quantity of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continuing to run driving a car that is beginning to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will just end up in more and more harm affecting your fuel system components.
3. Are you interested in security?
   Then get it emptied. No matter the contamination ratio, there is invariably some extent of danger associated with driving a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Possible consequences of driving on the wrong fuel normally include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, and so forth. These are some of the commonest Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you observe any of them then stop driving and have it removed as soon as possible.
