ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Citroen is a common problem. And exactly what you want to do about it will depend on an assortment of things. If you want to know what you have to do to sort it out then continue reading.
Right here are the key factors to to consider whenever deciding whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. How much Diesel have you put in the Citroen, taking into consideration that the fuel capacity of the Citroen Nemo is probably about 45 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Diesel, less than 2.25 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Nemo will most of the time not necessarily be a major problem. Experience has shown us that quantities under 2.25 litres (which is roughly 5% of the whole fuel tank volume) is generally able to be sufficiently diluted simply by completely topping up the tank with Petrol.
      It's quite rare to come across a vehicle suffering from issues with lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is unusual - not impossible to find. You will discover certain motor vehicles that won't endure any amount of fuel contamination at all.
   2. Anywhere between 2.25 and 4.5 litres of Diesel in the Citroen (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our expertise has shown us that as many people get away with it as those people who don't. Whenever you are figuring out whether or not to chance it and just simply fill it up recognise that it is the same as betting all of it on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything over 4.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Nemo should promptly be drained out because your probability of getting away with that level of contamination is in all likelihood below one in fifty - seriously big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Citroen and drove it: Have you spotted any performance problems as a result of putting the bad fuel in the Nemo? If that's the case, get it emptied regardless of the quantity of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Still driving a vehicle that is currently beginning to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination can typically be responsible for more harm affecting the fuel system components.
3. Are you interested in security?
   Then get it drained. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is invariably some extent of threat affiliated with running a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Possible outcomes of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel can include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, decrease in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, and so forth. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them stop and get it drained asap.
