Seat Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Seat is a well-known mistake to make. And its remedy hinges on an assortment of factors. Assuming you would like to find out what to do about it then keep on reading.
Listed below are the key factors to to consider whenever deciding on whether or not to get a fuel drain:

  1. What level of Diesel did you put in to the Seat, taking into account that the fuel tank capacity of your Seat Leon Cupra is probably approximately 55 litres?
    1. Hardly any Diesel, less than 2.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Leon Cupra will quite often not be a major problem. Experience has shown us that an amount under 2.75 litres (which is 5% of the entire fuel tank volume) is in many instances able to be completely diluted simply by completely filling the rest of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It is relatively unusual to come across a car or truck having problems due to under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is infrequent - certainly not impossible to find. There are actually a number of cars that don't stand any quantity of fuel contamination at all.
    2. Between 2.75 and 5.5 litres of Diesel in the Seat (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our working experience demonstrates that as many motorists get away with this as all those who break down. Any time you are deciding on whether to chance it and basically top it up remember that it is much like betting all of it on black - you have got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
    3. Anything in excess of 5.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Leon Cupra should really straight away be drained since your likelihood of succeeding with that level of contamination is very likely below one in 50 - really big odds.
  2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Seat and drove it: Have you noted any kind of performance concerns as a result of putting the wrong fuel in your Leon Cupra? If that's the case, have it removed regardless of the amount of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Still driving an automobile that is now starting to suffer from the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will probably only be responsible for increasing amounts of harm being caused to your fuel system parts.
  3. Would you like security?
    Then get it removed. No matter the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some amount of threat caused by operating a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Probable outcomes of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel can include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, loss of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, and so on. These are a few of the most typical Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them then stop driving and have it drained right now.

Diesel in Petrol Questions

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.
