Incorrect fuel in a Volkswagen Caravelle? Diesel in a Petrol Volkswagen?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Volkswagen is a regular error. And its solution will depend on a variety of things. If you want to know what it is best to do to fix it then please read on.
These are the most important factors to to consider whenever choosing whether to have a fuel drain:

1. How much Diesel did you put in to the Volkswagen, considering that the fuel tank capacity of your Volkswagen Caravelle is normally about 80 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, as little as 4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Caravelle will in most situations not really be a huge problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that anything under 4 litres (which is almost 5% of the entire fuel tank volume) is very often able to be completely diluted by entirely filling up the rest of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's quite unusual to encounter an automobile experiencing problems due to under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it's infrequently found - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are a few automobiles that will not stand any quantity of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 4 and 8 litres of Diesel in the Volkswagen (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our experience has proven that as many motorists get away with this as those people who don't. Any time you are trying to decide whether to chance it and simply fill it up recognise that it is much like wagering your car on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything more than 8 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Caravelle should promptly be removed seeing that your likelihood of getting away with that amount of contamination is certainly less than one in fifty - definitely huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Volkswagen and drove it: Have you observed any kind of performance concerns ever since putting the incorrect fuel in the Caravelle? If that's the case, get it removed no matter the volume of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Still running a motor vehicle that is beginning to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination can only be responsible for even more damage affecting your fuel system parts.
3. Do you want assurance?
   You should get it emptied. No matter the contamination percentage, there is always some degree of risk connected with operating a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible consequences of driving on the incorrect fuel include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or bunged injectors, etc. These are several of the most typical Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you detect any of them then cease driving and have it drained right away.
