Wrong fuel in a Peugeot 107? Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot is a well-known problem. And exactly what you need to do about it is based on various things. In the event that you would like to know what it is advisable to do about this then keep reading.
Listed below are the most crucial factors to consider when deciding whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Diesel have you put in the Peugeot, bearing in mind that the fuel capacity of the Peugeot 107 is normally about 35 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Diesel, less than 1.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 107 will in most cases not be a major problem. Experience has taught us that anything less than 1.75 litres (approximately 5% of the whole fuel tank volume) is sometimes able to be sufficiently diluted through completely topping the rest of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It is extremely unusual to find an automobile experiencing problems because of under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it is infrequently found - not impossible to encounter. You will discover some motor vehicles that don't endure any degree of contamination at all.
   2. Anywhere between 1.75 and 3.5 litres of Diesel in the Peugeot (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 scenario. Our practical experience demonstrates that as many people get away with it as those people who don't. Whenever you are deciding on whether to chance it and simply fill it up remember that it is just like betting it all on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything above 3.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 107 should really immediately be removed because your probability of driving with this amount of contamination is more than likely below one in fifty - seriously huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot and drove it: Have you noted any kind of performance issues since putting the bad fuel in your 107? If that's the case, have it emptied regardless of the volume of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Continually running a vehicle that is starting to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination can definitely lead to even more harm being caused to your fuel system.
3. Are you looking for reassurance?
   In that case get it removed. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is inevitably a certain level of threat connected with operating a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Likely results of driving on the wrong fuel can include the motor not starting, running unevenly, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, and so on. These are a few of the commonest Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and should you notice any of them stop and get it drained immediately.
