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

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Citroen is a well-known mistake to make. And its remedy hinges on a few factors. Assuming you want to know what you should do about it then keep reading.
Here are the key factors to think about whenever deciding whether to have a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel did you put into the Citroen, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Citroen Evasion is usually about 80 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Diesel, less than 4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Evasion will normally not be a significant problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that an amount less than 4 litres (which is close to 5% of the overall fuel tank capacity) is very often capable of being adequately diluted simply by completely filling up the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It's rather rare to find a car or truck suffering from difficulties with under 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is unusual - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are some automobiles that will not endure any quantity of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 4 and 8 litres of Diesel in the Citroen (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our experience has proven that as many drivers get away with this as all those who break down. Any time you're deciding whether to chance it and basically fill it up bear in mind that it is the same as wagering it all on black - you have got a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything above 8 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Evasion must as soon as possible be removed since your probability of getting away with that quantity of contamination is undoubtedly less than one in fifty - really big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Citroen and drove it: Have you spotted any performance problems since putting the bad fuel in your Evasion? If you have, have it drained regardless of the amount of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Still running a car that is starting to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination can just lead to progressively more harm affecting the fuel system components.
3. Are you interested in peace of mind?
   In that case get it emptied. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is invariably some degree of risk caused by operating a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Possible results of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel can include the motor not starting, running unevenly, loss of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and so on. These are a few of the most typical Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and should you observe any of them then stop and have it removed asap.
