Incorrect fuel in a Lexus GS 300? Diesel in your Petrol Lexus?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Lexus is a regular error. And its solution depends upon several things. Assuming you would like to find out what you need to do about it then keep reading.
Listed below are the key factors to take into consideration whenever determining whether to have the car drained:

1. Exactly how much Diesel have you put into the Lexus, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Lexus GS 300 is usually around 80 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, something like 4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol GS 300 will typically not necessarily be a major problem. Experience has proven to us that anything less than 4 litres (which is almost 5% of the overall fuel tank volume) is sometimes able to be completely diluted by completely filling up the tank with Petrol.
      It's quite rare to come across a car or truck having issues due to below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Please remember it's unusual - definitely not impossible to encounter. You can get a few motor vehicles that will not stand any quantity of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 4 and 8 litres of Diesel in the Lexus (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our expertise demonstrates that as many motorists get away with this as those who don't. Any time you're trying to decide whether to risk it and simply top it up bear in mind that it is exactly like gambling it all on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 8 litres of Diesel in a Petrol GS 300 ought to straight away be removed seeing that your likelihood of succeeding with this amount of contamination is certainly less than one in fifty - genuinely big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Lexus and drove it: Have you spotted any kind of performance concerns since putting the wrong fuel in your GS 300? If that's the case, get it removed irrespective of the amount of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continually running a vehicle that is already starting to suffer from the effects of fuel contamination will only cause progressively more damage being done to your fuel system components.
3. Would you like reassurance?
   In that case get it drained. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is always some extent of threat associated with driving a Petrol vehicle on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable implications of driving a car on the wrong fuel include the engine not starting, running lumpy, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and so on. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and if you recognise any of them then stop and get it removed immediately.
