Contaminated fuel in your Daihatsu Move GxL? Diesel in a Petrol Daihatsu?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Daihatsu is a fairly typical mistake to make. And what you should do about it depends upon a variety of things. In the event that you want to find out what to do to sort it out then continue reading.
Listed below are the main variables to be aware of whenever making a decision whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. How much Diesel did you put in the Daihatsu, considering that the fuel tank capacity of your Daihatsu Move GxL is usually roughly 32 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Diesel, something like 1.6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Move GxL will usually not really be a significant problem. Experience has taught us that quantities less than 1.6 litres (about 5% of the overall fuel tank) is in many instances capable of being sufficiently diluted by totally topping up the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It is very rare to encounter a vehicle having difficulties with under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it is uncommon - certainly not impossible to find. There are actually certain automobiles that won't stand any degree of contamination at all.
   2. Anywhere between 1.6 and 3.2 litres of Diesel in the Daihatsu (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our practical experience has demonstrated that as many people get away with it as those people who don't. Whenever deciding on whether or not to chance it and simply fill it up remember that it is very much like gambling your car on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything more than 3.2 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Move GxL should really straight away be removed seeing as your likelihood of getting away with this level of contamination is undoubtedly lower than one in 50 - extremely huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Daihatsu and drove it: Have you noticed any performance problems as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in the Move GxL? If so, have it removed no matter the quantity of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Still running a car that is currently starting to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination can just bring about more and more damage affecting the fuel system.
3. Are you looking for reassurance?
   Then get it drained. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some amount of risk associated with operating a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible outcomes of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel can include the engine not starting, running unevenly, lack of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and the like. These are several of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you observe any of them then cease driving and have it removed right now.
