ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Toyota is a well-known mistake to make. And its solution depends on a variety of things. In case you would like to find out what you ought to do to sort it out then continue reading.
Here are the most important factors to take into account when determining whether to have a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Diesel have you put into the Toyota, considering that the fuel capacity of the Toyota Corolla Verso is probably approximately 55 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Diesel, as little as 2.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Corolla Verso will more often than not not necessarily be a huge problem. Experience has taught us that an amount under 2.75 litres (5% of the total fuel tank) is very often capable of being adequately diluted by means of wholly topping the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's relatively uncommon to find a motor vehicle suffering from difficulties because of lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is very rare - certainly not impossible to encounter. You can get a few automobiles that won't endure any degree of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. In between 2.75 and 5.5 litres of Diesel in the Toyota (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our working experience has revealed that as many motorists get away with it as those people who don't. Whenever you are deciding upon whether to risk it and just simply top it up consider that it is the same as gambling everything on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything over 5.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Corolla Verso should immediately be drained out as your likelihood of getting away with that level of contamination is probably lower than one in fifty - extremely long odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Toyota and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance issues after putting the wrong fuel in the Corolla Verso? If so, get it removed no matter the volume of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continually driving a vehicle that is already starting to suffer from the consequences of wrong fuel contamination can likely cause progressively more damage affecting your fuel system parts.
3. Are you interested in assurance?
   Then simply just get it emptied. No matter the contamination ratio, there is always a certain level of threat associated with driving a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely final outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel can include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, and so forth. These are several of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and in the event that you observe any of them stop and get it removed right now.
