Wrong fuel in a SsangYong Musso E23? Diesel in your Petrol SsangYong?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol SsangYong is a fairly typical problem. And its remedy is determined by a variety of things. In the event that you want to find out what it is best to do about it then stay with me.
These are the most crucial factors to take into account when choosing whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Diesel have you put in the SsangYong, taking into consideration that the fuel capacity of your SsangYong Musso E23 is usually approximately 80 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, as little as 4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Musso E23 will in most cases not be a significant problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities under 4 litres (5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is sometimes able to be adequately diluted simply by thoroughly filling the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It is pretty uncommon to encounter an automobile experiencing issues because of less than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is very rare - certainly not impossible to find. There are a number of motor vehicles that won't endure any quantity of contamination at all.
   2. Somewhere between 4 and 8 litres of Diesel in the SsangYong (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has demonstrated that as many people get away with this as those people who don't. When trying to decide whether to risk it and just top it up consider that it is just like gambling it all on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything more than 8 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Musso E23 should immediately be drained because your likelihood of getting away with that level of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in 50 - genuinely huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol SsangYong and drove it: Have you observed any kind of performance difficulties ever since putting the bad fuel in the Musso E23? In that case, get it emptied irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Proceeding to run driving a vehicle that is beginning to suffer the effects of wrong fuel contamination will only be responsible for more harm being caused to the fuel system components.
3. Do you need peace of mind?
   You should get it removed. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is always some extent of threat associated with operating a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable consequences of driving on the incorrect fuel can include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, etc. These are some of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and if you recognise any of them then cease driving and have it removed immediately.
