Incorrect fuel in your Hyundai xG? Diesel in a Petrol Hyundai?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Hyundai is a very common problem. And its remedy will depend on several factors. If perhaps you would like to know what you must do about this then keep reading.
Listed here the key variables to take into account when deciding whether to have a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel did you put into the Hyundai, taking into account that the fuel capacity of the Hyundai xG is in most cases roughly 70 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, less than 3.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol xG will in most situations not really be a major problem. Experience has proven to us that anything less than 3.5 litres (which is roughly 5% of the fuel tank) is very often capable of being completely diluted through totally topping up the tank with Petrol.
      It is extremely unusual to encounter a car suffering from problems due to below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Remember that it is infrequently found - definitely not impossible to encounter. There are actually certain cars that will not endure any level of contamination at all.
   2. Somewhere between 3.5 and 7 litres of Diesel in the Hyundai (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our working experience has shown that as many drivers get away with this as all those who break down. Whenever trying to decide whether or not to risk it and basically top it up recognise that it is the same thing as gambling your car on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 7 litres of Diesel in your Petrol xG should really immediately be drained out since your probability of succeeding with this level of contamination is certainly less than one in 50 - genuinely big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Hyundai and drove it: Have you spotted any performance difficulties ever since putting the incorrect fuel in your xG? If that's the case, have it drained no matter the amount of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Proceeding to drive driving a car that is starting to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination will probably only bring about progressively more harm being done to the fuel system.
3. Are you interested in reassurance?
   You should get it removed. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is invariably some amount of risk connected to driving a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Likely consequences of driving on the wrong fuel include the engine not starting, running unevenly, loss of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, etc. These are a few of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and in the event that you recognise any of them then stop driving and have it drained immediately.
