ABOUT

Putting Petrol in a Diesel Citroen is a fairly typical mistake. And its solution depends on a variety of factors. In case you want to know what it is best to do to sort it out then keep on reading.
Listed here the key factors to keep in mind when making a decision whether or not to get it drained:

1. What level of Petrol have you put in to the Citroen, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of your Citroen C4 Picasso HDi is in most cases about 55 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Petrol, less than 2.75 litres of Petrol in a Diesel C4 Picasso HDi will generally not really be a major problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that quantities less than 2.75 litres (approximately 5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is frequently capable of being completely diluted by means of entirely filling the remainder of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's highly rare to find a car or truck suffering from issues with under 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Be aware that it's infrequently found - definitely not impossible to find. There are certain motor vehicles that will not stand any level of contamination at all.
   2. Between 2.75 and 5.5 litres of Petrol in the Citroen (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our working experience has demonstrated that as many motorists get away with it as those people who break down. When you are deciding whether or not to chance it and basically fill it up consider that it is very much like gambling your car on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything above 5.5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel C4 Picasso HDi should straightaway be drained seeing as your likelihood of driving with that quantity of contamination is undoubtedly lower than one in fifty - definitely big odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Citroen and drove it: Have you observed any kind of performance problems as a result of putting the bad fuel in your C4 Picasso HDi? In that case, have it drained no matter the quantity of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Continuing to run driving a car that is now beginning to suffer the effect of fuel contamination will definitely be responsible for more damage affecting the fuel system.
3. Would you like assurance?
   Simply get it removed. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is invariably some degree of danger linked with running a Diesel engine on Diesel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Likely final outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the engine not starting, running unevenly, lack of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or bunged injectors, and so on. These are a few of the most common Petrol in Diesel warning signs, and should you observe any of them then cease driving and get it removed right away.
