Incorrect fuel in your Mercedes CLS 300? Diesel in your Petrol Mercedes?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a regularly occurring problem. And what you should do about it varies according to a variety of things. If you would like to know what you need to do about this then read on.
Listed below are the main variables to consider whenever deciding on whether to have it drained:

1. Exactly how much Diesel did you put in to the Mercedes, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Mercedes CLS 300 is probably about 80 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, as little as 4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol CLS 300 will more often than not not really be a significant problem. Experience has proven to us that anything under 4 litres (approximately 5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is in many instances capable of being sufficiently diluted through completely topping up the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It is very uncommon to find an automobile experiencing difficulties with below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Do not forget that it is unusual - certainly not impossible to find. You can get a number of vehicles that won't endure any degree of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Between 4 and 8 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our experience has shown us that as many drivers get away with it as those people who break down. Any time you are trying to decide whether or not to risk it and just top it up remember that it is the same thing as gambling all of it on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything more than 8 litres of Diesel in your Petrol CLS 300 must promptly be removed because your probability of getting away with this quantity of contamination is almost certainly below one in 50 - really big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you observed any kind of performance problems ever since putting the wrong fuel in your CLS 300? In that case, have it drained no matter the volume of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Continuing to drive running an automobile that is already starting to suffer the effects of wrong fuel contamination will just bring about even more damage affecting your fuel system.
3. Do you want peace of mind?
   Then get it drained. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some degree of risk resulting from operating a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable consequences of driving on the incorrect fuel normally include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or bunged injectors, etc. These are a few of the most common Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and in the event that you notice any of them then stop driving and have it removed right away.
