Hyundai Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Hyundai is a fairly typical problem. And exactly what you need to do about it will depend on various factors. If you want to find out what you need to do about this then keep on reading.
Let us discuss the most important factors to take into account whenever choosing whether to have a fuel drain:

  1. What level of Diesel have you put in the Hyundai, taking into account that the fuel tank capacity of the Hyundai Sonata is probably approximately 52 litres?
    1. A modest quantity of Diesel, as little as 2.6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Sonata will most of the time not be a huge problem. Experience has taught us that an amount less than 2.6 litres (roughly 5% of the fuel tank) is generally capable of being completely diluted through thoroughly topping the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It's pretty unusual to find a car or truck suffering from problems because of lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is infrequent - definitely not impossible to find. There are a number of automobiles that won't stand any amount of fuel contamination whatsoever.
    2. Somewhere between 2.6 and 5.2 litres of Diesel in the Hyundai (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has shown us that as many motorists get away with this as those people who don't. Any time you're deciding whether or not to chance it and simply top it up bear in mind that it is very much like gambling it all on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
    3. Anything more than 5.2 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Sonata should really promptly be removed as your likelihood of succeeding with this level of contamination is probably below one in fifty - seriously huge odds.
  2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Hyundai and drove it: Have you observed any performance issues ever since putting the bad fuel in the Sonata? If that's the case, get it emptied regardless of the amount of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continually running a motor vehicle that is starting to suffer from the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will typically bring about progressively more damage being caused to the fuel system components.
  3. Do you need assurance?
    Then simply just get it removed. No matter the contamination ratio, there is invariably some extent of threat in connection with operating a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable implications of driving a car on the incorrect fuel include things like the engine not starting, running unevenly, lack of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, and the like. These are a few of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and should you notice any of them stop and get it drained immediately.

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.
