Incorrect fuel in your Mercedes A45 AMG? Diesel in your Petrol Mercedes?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a regularly occurring error. And exactly what you should do about it varies according to a few things. If perhaps you would like to find out what you ought to do to sort it out then stay with me.
Listed below are the most important variables to to consider when choosing whether to have the car drained:

1. Exactly how much Diesel did you put in to the Mercedes, considering that the fuel tank capacity of your Mercedes A45 AMG is usually about 50 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Diesel, less than 2.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol A45 AMG will usually not be a big problem. Experience has proven to us that anything less than 2.5 litres (5% of the whole fuel tank volume) is usually able to be adequately diluted simply by completely topping up the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It's extremely unusual to come across a car or truck going through problems due to under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it's rare - in no way impossible to encounter. You can get certain cars that don't endure any level of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 2.5 and 5 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our expertise demonstrates that as many people get away with it as those who don't. Whenever deciding on whether to chance it and basically fill it up consider that it is the same thing as wagering everything on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything over 5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol A45 AMG really should immediately be drained out as your probability of succeeding with this amount of contamination is more than likely lower than one in fifty - definitely big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you seen any performance issues after putting the bad fuel in your A45 AMG? If that's the case, get it emptied irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Still driving a car that is already beginning to suffer the effects of wrong fuel contamination can only cause increasing amounts of harm affecting the fuel system.
3. Would you like reassurance?
   You should get it drained. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is invariably some amount of threat connected to running a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Possible consequences of driving a car on the incorrect fuel normally include the engine not starting, running unevenly, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or bunged injectors, and so on. These are several of the most common Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and should you notice any of them then stop and have it removed asap.
