Bad fuel in your Toyota iQ? Diesel in a Petrol Toyota?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Toyota is a regularly occurring error. And exactly what you need to do about it depends on an assortment of things. Assuming you want to find out what it is advisable to do to fix it then keep reading.
These are the most important factors to take into account when deciding whether to have the car drained:

1. What level of Diesel did you put in to the Toyota, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of your Toyota iQ is usually about 32 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Diesel, less than 1.6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol iQ will quite often not necessarily be a huge problem. Experience has shown us that an amount under 1.6 litres (roughly 5% of the total fuel tank capacity) is sometimes able to be adequately diluted by means of entirely filling up the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It's relatively uncommon to encounter a vehicle going through difficulties because of under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Do not forget that it is very rare - certainly not impossible to find. You can get certain cars that don't stand any degree of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Somewhere between 1.6 and 3.2 litres of Diesel in the Toyota (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our experience demonstrates that as many people get away with it as those people who don't. Whenever deciding whether or not to risk it and just simply top it up recognise that it is exactly like betting it all on black - you have got a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything above 3.2 litres of Diesel in a Petrol iQ ought to as soon as possible be drained out since your likelihood of driving with that amount of contamination is very likely lower than one in 50 - seriously long odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Toyota and drove it: Have you detected any performance concerns as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in your iQ? If so, have it drained irrespective of the volume of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Continually running a car that is now starting to suffer from the effects of fuel contamination will only result in even more harm affecting your fuel system parts.
3. Would you like assurance?
   Then get it removed. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is invariably some degree of threat associated with driving a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Likely implications of driving a car on the wrong fuel include things like the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, losing power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, etc. These are some of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and in the event that you notice any of them then stop and get it removed asap.
