Bad fuel in a Dacia Lodgy dCi? Petrol in your Diesel Dacia?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Dacia is a well-known problem. And what you have to do about it is determined by several factors. If you want to find out what it is best to do to fix it then keep on reading.
These are the most important variables to take into account whenever deciding whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. What amount of Petrol did you put into the Dacia, taking into consideration that the fuel capacity of the Dacia Lodgy dCi is probably approximately 50 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Petrol, something like 2.5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Lodgy dCi will most of the time not be a huge problem. Experience has shown us that anything less than 2.5 litres (which is almost 5% of the fuel tank volume) is very often capable of being completely diluted simply by completely topping up the remainder of the tank with Diesel.
      It is relatively rare to find an automobile going through problems due to lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it's infrequently found - not impossible to encounter. You can get a number of cars that don't endure any level of fuel contamination at all.
   2. In between 2.5 and 5 litres of Petrol in the Dacia (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our experience has proven that as many motorists get away with it as those people who break down. When figuring out whether to risk it and just simply fill it up remember that it is the same thing as wagering your car on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything more than 5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Lodgy dCi must as soon as possible be drained out seeing as your probability of driving with this amount of contamination is in all likelihood below one in 50 - seriously huge odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Dacia and drove it: Have you spotted any performance concerns as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in the Lodgy dCi? In that case, have it removed no matter the volume of Petrol or the contamination percentage. Still running a motor vehicle that is now starting to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination will definitely end up in more and more damage being caused to the fuel system components.
3. Do you want reassurance?
   Then get it drained. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is invariably some extent of risk affiliated with operating a Diesel engine on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely consequences of driving on the incorrect fuel include things like the engine not starting, running lumpy, reduced power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, and so forth. These are several of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel signs and symptoms, and in the event that you notice any of them cease driving and get it drained immediately.
