Seat Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Seat is a usual problem. And what you need to do about it depends on various factors. If you want to know what you must do about this then please read on.
Listed here the most crucial factors to take into account whenever determining whether to have a fuel drain:

  1. What amount of Diesel have you put in the Seat, considering that the fuel capacity of the Seat Exeo is probably around 70 litres?
    1. Hardly any Diesel, less than 3.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Exeo will normally not necessarily be a huge problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that quantities less than 3.5 litres (which is about 5% of the entire fuel tank) is very often able to be sufficiently diluted by completely filling the tank with the correct fuel.
      It is rather uncommon to encounter a vehicle having difficulties because of less than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Remember that it is very uncommon - in no way impossible to encounter. There are a few cars that won't endure any degree of contamination whatsoever.
    2. Between 3.5 and 7 litres of Diesel in the Seat (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our working experience has demonstrated that as many motorists get away with it as all those who break down. Any time you're deciding whether or not to chance it and simply fill it up consider that it is very much like betting all of it on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
    3. Anything over 7 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Exeo really should promptly be removed as your likelihood of getting away with this amount of contamination is very likely lower than one in 50 - seriously huge odds.
  2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Seat and drove it: Have you noted any performance issues as a result of putting the wrong fuel in your Exeo? If so, get it removed irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Continually driving an automobile that is now starting to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination can typically cause more and more damage affecting the fuel system parts.
  3. Do you want reassurance?
    In that case get it emptied. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is always some extent of risk connected to driving a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Probable results of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel include things like the engine not starting, running unevenly, lack of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and so on. These are some of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and should you notice any of them stop driving and have it removed immediately.

Diesel in Petrol FAQs

When someone has put Diesel in a Petrol car they have a few very common questions. So we have compiled a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions for you

I put Diesel in a Petrol car and drove it. What do I do?

Answer

Turn off the car as soon as possible and call us. Continuing to run a vehicle on the wrong fuel can potentially damage it. We will be able to give you advice and assistance based on your circumstances

Will driving a Petrol car on Diesel cause damage to it?

Answer

It can. However, if the problem is caught and remedied quickly the risks will be minimal. Of the 1,500 vehicles we attend every month, less than 0.5% have suffered and substantial damage requiring parts replacement.

How much Diesel can I get away with in a Petrol car?

Answer

The safe answer is none. However you might be able to get away with a very low contamination ratio. That being said, we always highly recommend draining anything over a 5% contamination ratio asap.

I know about petrol in diesel, but what about Super Unleaded?

Answer

Putting Super Unleaded, or Shell V-Power, BP Ultimate Unleaded, etc, will have the exact same effect as putting regular unleaded petrol in your diesel car and will need to be drained out and flushed.

Will getting you to do a fuel drain void my warranty?

Answer

No! The EU Block Exemption Regulations clearly state that "the work can be carried out by as long as that garage uses manufacturer approved parts and correctly follows the manufacturer's service schedule."

Can I top it up with Petrol and add some 2-stroke oil?

Answer

This might work on some vehicles in some cases, but in the majority on instances it won't and you risk damaging the Lambda sensors as well as fuel pump and injectors, just as a regular misfuel.
