Wrong fuel in your Volkswagen Cross Polo? Diesel in your Petrol Volkswagen?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Volkswagen is a regularly occurring mistake. And exactly what you have to do about it depends upon a number of factors. Assuming you want to find out what it is advisable to do to fix it then read on.
Listed here are the main factors to keep in mind when figuring out whether to get it drained:

1. What level of Diesel have you put in the Volkswagen, taking into consideration that the fuel capacity of your Volkswagen Cross Polo is usually approximately 45 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, as little as 2.25 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Cross Polo will typically not really be a big problem. Experience has shown us that an amount under 2.25 litres (which is almost 5% of the entire fuel tank volume) is very often capable of being sufficiently diluted simply by wholly filling the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It is quite rare to come across a motor vehicle having problems with less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Do not forget that it's infrequently found - certainly not impossible to find. You will discover certain motor vehicles that won't endure any quantity of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Somewhere between 2.25 and 4.5 litres of Diesel in the Volkswagen (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our working experience has confirmed that as many motorists get away with it as all those who break down. When trying to decide whether to risk it and just top it up recognise that it is the same thing as wagering it all on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything above 4.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Cross Polo should immediately be drained seeing that your likelihood of driving with this level of contamination is probably less than one in 50 - truly huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Volkswagen and drove it: Have you noticed any performance troubles after putting the bad fuel in your Cross Polo? In that case, have it drained irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Continuing to run running a motor vehicle that is starting to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination will likely cause progressively more damage being caused to the fuel system parts.
3. Are you looking for assurance?
   In that case get it drained. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is invariably some amount of danger resulting from running a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Probable consequences of driving a car on the wrong fuel can include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and so on. These are some of the commonest Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you recognise any of them then cease driving and have it drained immediately.
