Bad fuel in a Toyota Aygo? Diesel in a Petrol Toyota?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Toyota is a regularly occurring problem. And exactly what you need to do about it is dependent upon various factors. In the event that you would like to know what you must do about this then please read on.
Here are the most important variables to think about when figuring out whether or not to have the car drained:

1. Exactly how much Diesel did you put in to the Toyota, taking into account that the fuel capacity of your Toyota Aygo is normally approximately 35 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, less than 1.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Aygo will in most situations not necessarily be a massive problem. Experience has proven to us that anything less than 1.75 litres (5% of the fuel tank) is sometimes able to be completely diluted by totally topping up the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It's rather unusual to find a motor vehicle experiencing problems due to lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Please remember it's unusual - not impossible to encounter. There are a number of vehicles that will not stand any level of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Anywhere between 1.75 and 3.5 litres of Diesel in the Toyota (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our practical experience has shown us that as many drivers get away with this as all those who break down. Any time you are deciding upon whether or not to risk it and simply fill it up bear in mind that it is much like gambling all of it on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything above 3.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Aygo should as soon as possible be drained since your probability of getting away with that amount of contamination is very likely lower than one in 50 - genuinely long odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Toyota and drove it: Have you seen any performance concerns after putting the bad fuel in your Aygo? If so, have it emptied irrespective of the volume of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Proceeding to run running an automobile that is currently beginning to suffer from the consequences of wrong fuel contamination can just cause increasing amounts of damage being done to the fuel system parts.
3. Do you want reassurance?
   Then get it drained. No matter the contamination percentage, there is invariably some extent of threat resulting from driving a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Probable consequences of driving on the incorrect fuel include things like the engine not starting, running unevenly, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or bunged injectors, and the like. These are some of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and if you recognise any of them cease driving and have it removed right away.
