Bad fuel in a Audi A2 TDI? Petrol in a Diesel Audi?

ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel Audi is a usual problem. And its remedy varies according to several factors. If you want to know what to do about it then stay with me.
Let us discuss the most crucial variables to consider when figuring out whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Petrol did you put in to the Audi, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of your Audi A2 TDI is normally around 34 litres?
   1. A small amount of Petrol, something like 1 litres of Petrol in a Diesel A2 TDI will in most cases not necessarily be a major problem. Experience has proven to us that an amount less than 1 litres (which is roughly 5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is frequently able to be completely diluted by means of thoroughly filling the tank with Diesel.
      It's rather unusual to find a motor vehicle having issues because of below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Be aware that it is unusual - definitely not impossible to find. There are actually certain cars that don't stand any degree of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. In between 1 and 2 litres of Petrol in the Audi (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our working experience has revealed that as many motorists get away with it as those who don't. When figuring out whether to risk it and just fill it up recognise that it is the same thing as betting your car on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything more than 2 litres of Petrol in a Diesel A2 TDI should immediately be drained out since your probability of succeeding with this amount of contamination is undoubtedly below one in fifty - genuinely long odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Audi and drove it: Have you noted any performance issues as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in your A2 TDI? If you have, have it removed regardless of the quantity of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Continually running a car that is already beginning to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination will likely result in increasing amounts of damage affecting your fuel system components.
3. Would you like security?
   In that case get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is invariably some degree of threat linked with operating a Diesel motor on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Probable implications of driving on the incorrect fuel include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, losing power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, and so on. These are some of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel symptoms, and should you detect any of them stop and have it drained immediately.
