Contaminated fuel in your Kia Ceed? Diesel in your Petrol Kia?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Kia is a common mistake. And its remedy is based on a variety of factors. In the event that you would like to find out what you have to do to sort it out then please read on.
Right here are the most important factors to be aware of whenever figuring out whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel have you put into the Kia, considering that the fuel tank capacity of your Kia Ceed is in most cases about 53 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, less than 2.65 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Ceed will in most cases not really be a huge problem. Experience has proven to us that anything under 2.65 litres (5% of the overall fuel tank) is often capable of being sufficiently diluted by means of completely filling the remainder of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It is pretty rare to come across an automobile going through issues due to under 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Remember that it is very infrequent - definitely not impossible to find. You will discover certain vehicles that don't endure any level of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Anywhere between 2.65 and 5.3 litres of Diesel in the Kia (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our expertise demonstrates that as many drivers get away with this as all those who don't. Any time you're deciding on whether to chance it and just fill it up bear in mind that it is much like wagering everything on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything over 5.3 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Ceed must immediately be removed seeing as your likelihood of succeeding with that quantity of contamination is undoubtedly lower than one in 50 - extremely huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Kia and drove it: Have you seen any performance difficulties after putting the incorrect fuel in the Ceed? If that's the case, get it removed irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Still driving a vehicle that is now beginning to suffer from the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will probably just result in progressively more damage affecting your fuel system.
3. Do you need security?
   Then get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is invariably some degree of risk linked with running a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Probable final outcomes of driving on the incorrect fuel include the motor not starting, running lumpy, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, and the like. These are several of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and in the event that you notice any of them cease driving and have it removed right now.
