Bad fuel in a Mercedes CLS 55 AMG? Diesel in your Petrol Mercedes?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a fairly typical mistake to make. And exactly what you have to do about it is based on several different factors. Assuming you want to find out what it is best to do to fix it then keep on reading.
Here are the most important variables to take into account whenever choosing whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel have you put into the Mercedes, taking into account that the fuel capacity of the Mercedes CLS 55 AMG is most likely around 80 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, something like 4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol CLS 55 AMG will quite often not really be a significant problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that anything under 4 litres (which is roughly 5% of the total fuel tank capacity) is often able to be sufficiently diluted simply by totally filling up the tank with Petrol.
      It is extremely uncommon to come across a motor vehicle experiencing issues with under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Remember that it's infrequently found - in no way impossible to find. There are actually some vehicles that won't stand any quantity of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Anywhere between 4 and 8 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our practical experience has shown that as many people get away with it as all those who don't. When trying to decide whether to risk it and basically top it up bear in mind that it is exactly like wagering all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything in excess of 8 litres of Diesel in your Petrol CLS 55 AMG really should right away be removed seeing that your probability of driving with that level of contamination is in all likelihood lower than one in 50 - definitely huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you observed any performance issues since putting the wrong fuel in the CLS 55 AMG? If you have, have it emptied irrespective of the volume of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continuing to drive driving an automobile that is already starting to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination can definitely bring about progressively more damage being done to the fuel system parts.
3. Are you interested in reassurance?
   Then simply just get it removed. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some extent of threat associated with operating a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Probable consequences of driving on the incorrect fuel include the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, and so on. These are some of the commonest Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you observe any of them then stop and get it drained asap.
