Subaru Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Subaru is a usual error. And its remedy depends upon a number of factors. If perhaps you want to know what you should do to fix it then please read on.
Right here are the key variables to take into consideration whenever figuring out whether to have it drained:

  1. What level of Diesel have you put in to the Subaru, taking into consideration that the fuel capacity of the Subaru BRZ is probably approximately 50 litres?
    1. Hardly any Diesel, as little as 2.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol BRZ will generally not be a major problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that quantities under 2.5 litres (almost 5% of the overall fuel tank) is in many instances able to be completely diluted by means of thoroughly topping the tank with Petrol.
      It is rather uncommon to encounter a car or truck suffering from issues because of under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Do not forget that it is infrequently found - in no way impossible to encounter. You will discover certain motor vehicles that won't stand any quantity of contamination whatsoever.
    2. In between 2.5 and 5 litres of Diesel in the Subaru (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our experience has confirmed that as many drivers get away with it as those who don't. When figuring out whether to chance it and just simply fill it up consider that it is just like wagering all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
    3. Anything over 5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol BRZ should immediately be drained out as your probability of getting away with this amount of contamination is undoubtedly less than one in fifty - really long odds.
  2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Subaru and drove it: Have you spotted any performance issues since putting the incorrect fuel in the BRZ? In that case, have it drained regardless of the volume of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Proceeding to drive driving a vehicle that is beginning to suffer the effects of wrong fuel contamination will probably just cause progressively more harm affecting the fuel system components.
  3. Do you need peace of mind?
    In that case get it removed. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is always a certain level of risk connected with driving a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Likely implications of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel can include the engine not starting, running lumpy, reduced power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and so on. These are several of the most typical Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and should you detect any of them then stop and have it removed asap.

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.
