Incorrect fuel in a Kia Soul? Diesel in a Petrol Kia?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Kia is a regular problem. And its remedy hinges on several things. In the event that you want to know what you have to do about this then stay with me.
Let us discuss the most crucial factors to keep in mind whenever figuring out whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. How much Diesel did you put into the Kia, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of the Kia Soul is probably about 48 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, as little as 2.4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Soul will typically not really be a major problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that an amount less than 2.4 litres (which is roughly 5% of the whole fuel tank volume) is very often capable of being sufficiently diluted through completely filling up the remainder of the tank with the right fuel.
      It is rather rare to encounter a motor vehicle going through issues due to lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Do not forget that it's infrequently found - in no way impossible to encounter. You can get some motor vehicles that won't endure any quantity of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Anywhere between 2.4 and 4.8 litres of Diesel in the Kia (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our expertise has confirmed that as many drivers get away with this as those people who don't. When trying to decide whether to chance it and simply top it up bear in mind that it is the same as betting it all on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything over 4.8 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Soul really should right away be removed since your likelihood of driving with this level of contamination is in all likelihood below one in 50 - genuinely long odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Kia and drove it: Have you noted any performance problems since putting the wrong fuel in your Soul? In that case, have it drained regardless of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continually running a car that is currently starting to suffer the consequences of wrong fuel contamination can typically cause progressively more harm being done to your fuel system.
3. Are you looking for peace of mind?
   You should get it emptied. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is inevitably a certain level of danger resulting from operating a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Likely final outcomes of driving on the incorrect fuel include the engine not starting, running lumpy, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or bunged injectors, and the like. These are some of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and in the event that you observe any of them then cease driving and have it removed asap.
