Wrong fuel in your Mercedes C220? Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a well-known error. And its solution will depend on various factors. If you want to find out what it is advisable to do to sort it out then please read on.
Right here are the most important factors to think about when deciding on whether to have it drained:

1. What level of Diesel did you put into the Mercedes, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of your Mercedes C220 is most likely roughly 62 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Diesel, less than 3.1 litres of Diesel in a Petrol C220 will typically not be a big problem. Experience has proven to us that an amount less than 3.1 litres (which is close to 5% of the whole fuel tank volume) is usually able to be completely diluted through wholly topping up the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It's relatively uncommon to come across a vehicle experiencing difficulties with under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it's rare - in no way impossible to find. There are a number of motor vehicles that will not stand any level of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Somewhere between 3.1 and 6.2 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our practical experience has demonstrated that as many drivers get away with it as those who don't. When you are deciding on whether or not to risk it and just fill it up bear in mind that it is very much like gambling your car on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything above 6.2 litres of Diesel in your Petrol C220 ought to right away be removed seeing as your likelihood of driving with this amount of contamination is almost certainly below one in fifty - really huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you observed any kind of performance troubles ever since putting the bad fuel in your C220? If you have, get it emptied regardless of the amount of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Continuing to drive running an automobile that is currently beginning to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination will probably only bring about increasing amounts of damage being done to the fuel system.
3. Do you want assurance?
   In that case get it drained. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some degree of danger connected with running a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Possible outcomes of driving a car on the wrong fuel include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or bunged injectors, and so on. These are several of the most typical Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them then stop driving and have it removed immediately.
