Bad fuel in your Peugeot 3008 VTi? Diesel in your Petrol Peugeot?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot is a regularly occurring error. And its solution hinges on a few things. If you want to find out what you must do about this then keep reading.
Let us discuss the key factors to keep in mind when determining whether to have a fuel drain:

1. How much Diesel did you put in the Peugeot, considering that the fuel tank capacity of the Peugeot 3008 VTi is usually around 60 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, something like 3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 3008 VTi will typically not be a huge problem. Experience has shown us that an amount less than 3 litres (which is close to 5% of the fuel tank) is generally able to be sufficiently diluted by thoroughly filling up the rest of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It's quite rare to find a motor vehicle experiencing issues because of under 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it's infrequently found - definitely not impossible to find. There are some automobiles that will not endure any level of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 3 and 6 litres of Diesel in the Peugeot (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our working experience has revealed that as many people get away with it as all those who break down. Whenever figuring out whether to chance it and just top it up remember that it is much like betting everything on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything in excess of 6 litres of Diesel in your Petrol 3008 VTi should straightaway be drained since your probability of driving with that level of contamination is almost certainly less than one in fifty - extremely long odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot and drove it: Have you noticed any kind of performance difficulties ever since putting the wrong fuel in the 3008 VTi? In that case, have it removed no matter the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continuing to run running an automobile that is already starting to suffer the effect of fuel contamination will probably just end up in increasing amounts of damage being done to your fuel system.
3. Would you like assurance?
   Then get it emptied. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is invariably some degree of danger in connection with operating a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Probable outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, etc. These are several of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and in the event that you observe any of them then stop and have it removed right now.
