Bad fuel in your Lexus IS 200? Diesel in a Petrol Lexus?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Lexus is a very common problem. And what you have to do about it varies according to various factors. In the event that you would like to know what you should do to fix it then keep on reading.
These are the most crucial variables to take into consideration whenever deciding on whether to have a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel have you put in to the Lexus, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Lexus IS 200 is normally roughly 70 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, something like 3.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol IS 200 will usually not really be a major problem. Experience has proven to us that an amount less than 3.5 litres (almost 5% of the overall fuel tank capacity) is frequently capable of being completely diluted through totally topping up the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It's quite unusual to find a vehicle going through difficulties due to below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is rare - not impossible to find. There are actually a number of motor vehicles that won't stand any degree of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Between 3.5 and 7 litres of Diesel in the Lexus (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has demonstrated that as many drivers get away with this as all those who don't. Any time you are figuring out whether or not to chance it and basically fill it up consider that it is the same thing as wagering everything on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything in excess of 7 litres of Diesel in your Petrol IS 200 ought to right away be removed because your likelihood of driving with this amount of contamination is in all likelihood lower than one in 50 - seriously huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Lexus and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance concerns as a result of putting the wrong fuel in the IS 200? If you have, get it removed no matter the amount of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continuing to drive running a car that is currently starting to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will just be responsible for increasing amounts of damage being done to your fuel system components.
3. Are you looking for reassurance?
   Simply get it emptied. No matter the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some amount of risk connected with driving a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely implications of driving a car on the incorrect fuel include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, lack of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and so forth. These are a few of the commonest Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you detect any of them then stop and have it removed immediately.
