Incorrect fuel in your Volkswagen Eos TSI? Diesel in your Petrol Volkswagen?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Volkswagen is a regularly occurring problem. And its solution depends upon a few things. If perhaps you would like to find out what it is best to do to sort it out then stay with me.
Listed here are the most crucial factors to consider whenever choosing whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel have you put in to the Volkswagen, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of your Volkswagen Eos TSI is normally around 55 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, less than 2.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Eos TSI will typically not necessarily be a significant problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities under 2.75 litres (approximately 5% of the overall fuel tank capacity) is in many instances capable of being completely diluted by wholly filling the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's extremely unusual to encounter a vehicle suffering from problems with under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it's uncommon - not impossible to encounter. There are actually certain vehicles that don't stand any amount of contamination at all.
   2. Between 2.75 and 5.5 litres of Diesel in the Volkswagen (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our expertise has shown that as many drivers get away with it as those who don't. Whenever you are deciding whether to chance it and simply fill it up remember that it is much like betting all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 5.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Eos TSI must straightaway be removed as your likelihood of succeeding with this level of contamination is probably below one in fifty - definitely huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Volkswagen and drove it: Have you spotted any kind of performance problems after putting the bad fuel in your Eos TSI? If that's the case, get it drained regardless of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Proceeding to run running a motor vehicle that is starting to suffer from the effects of fuel contamination will probably typically end up in even more damage being done to your fuel system.
3. Do you need reassurance?
   Simply get it removed. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is always a certain level of threat associated with driving a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible final outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel normally include the motor not starting, running lumpy, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and so forth. These are several of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you notice any of them stop and get it removed right away.
