Wrong fuel in your Land Rover Range Rover? Diesel in a Petrol Land Rover?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Land Rover is a very common mistake. And exactly what you want to do about it will depend on a variety of things. If perhaps you would like to find out what you need to do to fix it then keep reading.
Listed here the most crucial factors to think about when deciding whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel have you put in to the Land Rover, bearing in mind that the fuel capacity of the Land Rover Range Rover is probably approximately 100 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Diesel, as little as 5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Range Rover will most of the time not necessarily be a significant problem. Experience has proven to us that anything under 5 litres (about 5% of the whole fuel tank) is usually able to be completely diluted through thoroughly filling the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It is rather uncommon to find a car or truck experiencing issues with less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Do not forget that it is uncommon - not impossible to find. You can get a number of motor vehicles that won't endure any degree of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Between 5 and 10 litres of Diesel in the Land Rover (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 scenario. Our expertise has shown that as many drivers get away with it as all those who don't. Whenever deciding on whether or not to risk it and basically top it up remember that it is very much like gambling everything on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything over 10 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Range Rover should straight away be drained because your likelihood of getting away with this level of contamination is more than likely lower than one in 50 - seriously huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Land Rover and drove it: Have you detected any kind of performance concerns ever since putting the bad fuel in the Range Rover? In that case, get it removed regardless of the volume of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Still driving a motor vehicle that is now beginning to suffer from the effects of fuel contamination can only result in increasing amounts of damage affecting your fuel system parts.
3. Are you looking for reassurance?
   Then simply just get it removed. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is inevitably a certain level of threat affiliated with running a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Probable final outcomes of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel can include the engine not starting, running unevenly, lack of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and the like. These are a few of the commonest Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and in the event that you notice any of them stop and get it removed as soon as possible.
