Bad fuel in a Renault Modus? Diesel in your Petrol Renault?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Renault is a regular problem. And what you have to do about it varies according to a variety of things. If perhaps you want to find out what you have to do to fix it then please read on.
Here are the main variables to take into consideration whenever figuring out whether to have a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel did you put in the Renault, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of your Renault Modus is most likely around 49 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, as little as 2.45 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Modus will in most situations not really be a huge problem. Experience has taught us that anything under 2.45 litres (which is close to 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is frequently capable of being adequately diluted simply by entirely topping up the tank with the right fuel.
      It is very unusual to encounter a car or truck experiencing issues due to under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is infrequent - definitely not impossible to encounter. There are actually certain cars that don't stand any level of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Between 2.45 and 4.9 litres of Diesel in the Renault (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our expertise has shown that as many motorists get away with it as those who break down. When you are deciding upon whether or not to risk it and just simply top it up bear in mind that it is the same as wagering everything on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything above 4.9 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Modus really should straight away be drained out as your probability of succeeding with that amount of contamination is more than likely less than one in fifty - really huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Renault and drove it: Have you spotted any performance difficulties as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in the Modus? If that's the case, have it drained no matter the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continually running a car that is now starting to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination can definitely lead to increasing amounts of damage being done to the fuel system components.
3. Do you need security?
   Then simply just get it removed. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is always some extent of danger resulting from driving a Petrol vehicle on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely results of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel can include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and so forth. These are a few of the commonest Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you notice any of them stop and have it drained right away.
