Daihatsu Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Daihatsu is a regularly occurring mistake. And what you need to do about it hinges on several different things. In case you would like to know what you should do to fix it then keep reading.
Right here are the most crucial factors to keep in mind whenever choosing whether or not to get a fuel drain:

  1. What amount of Diesel have you put in to the Daihatsu, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Daihatsu Terios is most likely approximately 46 litres?
    1. A small amount of Diesel, less than 2.3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Terios will normally not really be a significant problem. Experience has shown us that quantities less than 2.3 litres (about 5% of the overall fuel tank capacity) is in many instances capable of being completely diluted through entirely filling up the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It's very uncommon to find a vehicle suffering from issues because of under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it's unusual - in no way impossible to encounter. You can get a few vehicles that won't stand any level of contamination whatsoever.
    2. In between 2.3 and 4.6 litres of Diesel in the Daihatsu (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 scenario. Our working experience has confirmed that as many motorists get away with this as all those who don't. When you are deciding whether or not to chance it and basically top it up consider that it is the same thing as gambling all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
    3. Anything more than 4.6 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Terios should promptly be drained seeing as your likelihood of succeeding with this amount of contamination is in all likelihood less than one in 50 - truly big odds.
  2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Daihatsu and drove it: Have you noticed any kind of performance troubles since putting the wrong fuel in your Terios? If you have, have it emptied no matter the amount of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Still driving a vehicle that is beginning to suffer the effects of wrong fuel contamination can likely cause progressively more damage being caused to the fuel system parts.
  3. Do you need reassurance?
    You should get it removed. No matter the contamination ratio, there is invariably some amount of threat in connection with driving a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely final outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel normally include the motor not starting, running lumpy, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, etc. These are some of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and if you detect any of them then stop and get it drained asap.

Diesel in Petrol Questions

When someone has put Diesel in a Petrol car they have a few very common questions. So we have compiled a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions for you

I put Diesel in a Petrol car and drove it. What do I do?

Answer

Turn off the car as soon as possible and call us. Continuing to run a vehicle on the wrong fuel can potentially damage it. We will be able to give you advice and assistance based on your circumstances

Will driving a Petrol car on Diesel cause damage to it?

Answer

It can. However, if the problem is caught and remedied quickly the risks will be minimal. Of the 1,500 vehicles we attend every month, less than 0.5% have suffered and substantial damage requiring parts replacement.

How much Diesel can I get away with in a Petrol car?

Answer

The safe answer is none. However you might be able to get away with a very low contamination ratio. That being said, we always highly recommend draining anything over a 5% contamination ratio asap.

I know about petrol in diesel, but what about Super Unleaded?

Answer

Putting Super Unleaded, or Shell V-Power, BP Ultimate Unleaded, etc, will have the exact same effect as putting regular unleaded petrol in your diesel car and will need to be drained out and flushed.

Will getting you to do a fuel drain void my warranty?

Answer

No! The EU Block Exemption Regulations clearly state that "the work can be carried out by as long as that garage uses manufacturer approved parts and correctly follows the manufacturer's service schedule."

Can I top it up with Petrol and add some 2-stroke oil?

Answer

This might work on some vehicles in some cases, but in the majority on instances it won't and you risk damaging the Lambda sensors as well as fuel pump and injectors, just as a regular misfuel.
