Incorrect fuel in your Honda CR-V DTEC? Petrol in your Diesel Honda?

ABOUT

Putting Petrol in a Diesel Honda is a regularly occurring problem. And exactly what you need to do about it varies according to a few factors. In case you want to know what to do about it then read on.
Listed here are the key variables to consider when making a decision whether to get a fuel drain:

1. What level of Petrol have you put into the Honda, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of your Honda CR-V DTEC is normally approximately 58 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Petrol, as little as 2.9 litres of Petrol in a Diesel CR-V DTEC will usually not really be a massive problem. Experience has shown us that quantities under 2.9 litres (which is about 5% of the total fuel tank) is often able to be sufficiently diluted by means of totally filling up the remainder of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's extremely uncommon to encounter a motor vehicle suffering from issues due to less than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind it's unusual - not impossible to find. You can get some motor vehicles that won't stand any degree of contamination at all.
   2. Somewhere between 2.9 and 5.8 litres of Petrol in the Honda (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our practical experience has proven that as many motorists get away with this as all those who break down. When you are figuring out whether or not to chance it and simply top it up remember that it is the same thing as gambling all of it on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything more than 5.8 litres of Petrol in a Diesel CR-V DTEC ought to right away be removed since your probability of getting away with this amount of contamination is almost certainly below one in 50 - seriously long odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Honda and drove it: Have you observed any performance concerns after putting the wrong fuel in your CR-V DTEC? If so, have it removed irrespective of the quantity of Petrol or even the contamination percentage. Proceeding to run driving a car that is now starting to suffer from the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will typically lead to even more harm being caused to your fuel system.
3. Would you like security?
   In that case get it removed. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is always some amount of threat connected with driving a Diesel vehicle on Diesel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Likely results of driving a car on the incorrect fuel include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and the like. These are some of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel signs and symptoms, and if you detect any of them then stop and get it drained right now.
