ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot is a fairly typical mistake to make. And what you have to do about it depends upon several different things. In the event that you want to find out what to do about it then keep reading.
Here are the main variables to consider whenever choosing whether to get it drained:

1. How much Diesel have you put into the Peugeot, considering that the fuel capacity of your Peugeot 306 is most likely around 60 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, as little as 3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 306 will usually not necessarily be a massive problem. Experience has shown us that anything under 3 litres (approximately 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is oftentimes able to be sufficiently diluted simply by thoroughly topping up the rest of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's extremely unusual to find a motor vehicle going through issues due to lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Remember that it is rare - in no way impossible to find. You can get certain automobiles that don't stand any degree of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Anywhere between 3 and 6 litres of Diesel in the Peugeot (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our experience demonstrates that as many drivers get away with this as those people who break down. When deciding on whether or not to chance it and simply fill it up consider that it is just like betting it all on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything in excess of 6 litres of Diesel in your Petrol 306 ought to straightaway be drained out since your likelihood of succeeding with this quantity of contamination is probably lower than one in 50 - really big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot and drove it: Have you seen any performance problems as a result of putting the bad fuel in your 306? If that's the case, have it drained no matter the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Proceeding to drive driving a vehicle that is currently beginning to suffer the effects of fuel contamination will just end up in increasing amounts of harm being done to the fuel system parts.
3. Are you looking for peace of mind?
   You should get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is always some degree of danger connected to running a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable results of driving on the wrong fuel include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, reduced power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, etc. These are a few of the most common Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and should you observe any of them cease driving and get it removed as soon as possible.
