Contaminated fuel in your Mercedes C36 AMG? Diesel in your Petrol Mercedes?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a fairly typical error. And exactly what you should do about it is dependent upon an assortment of things. In case you would like to know what you have to do about it then please read on.
Here are the main factors to think about whenever choosing whether or not to have your car drained:

1. What level of Diesel did you put into the Mercedes, taking into consideration that the fuel capacity of the Mercedes C36 AMG is probably around 62 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, as little as 3.1 litres of Diesel in a Petrol C36 AMG will most of the time not necessarily be a massive problem. Experience has taught us that quantities under 3.1 litres (5% of the fuel tank capacity) is frequently capable of being sufficiently diluted through entirely topping the tank with Petrol.
      It's very uncommon to encounter a motor vehicle having difficulties due to lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Be aware that it is very infrequently found - not impossible to find. There are actually certain automobiles that won't stand any amount of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. In between 3.1 and 6.2 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has revealed that as many people get away with it as those who break down. Whenever you are trying to decide whether or not to chance it and simply top it up recognise that it is the same as wagering all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 6.2 litres of Diesel in your Petrol C36 AMG should straight away be drained as your probability of driving with this quantity of contamination is certainly lower than one in fifty - seriously big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you spotted any performance concerns ever since putting the bad fuel in your C36 AMG? In that case, get it emptied irrespective of the volume of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Still driving a car that is already beginning to suffer the effects of wrong fuel contamination will likely bring about progressively more harm being caused to your fuel system parts.
3. Are you looking for security?
   Then get it removed. No matter the contamination percentage, there is always a certain level of threat resulting from driving a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Likely final outcomes of driving on the incorrect fuel normally include the engine not starting, running unevenly, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, and so on. These are some of the most common Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and in the event that you recognise any of them stop driving and get it removed asap.
