Contaminated fuel in a Hyundai Grand Santa Fe? Petrol in a Diesel Hyundai?

ABOUT

Putting Petrol in a Diesel Hyundai is a well-known mistake. And what you want to do about it will depend on a few factors. If perhaps you would like to find out what you have to do about it then please read on.
These are the main factors to to consider whenever making a decision whether or not to have the car drained:

1. How much Petrol did you put into the Hyundai, taking into account that the fuel capacity of the Hyundai Grand Santa Fe is in most cases about 64 litres?
   1. Hardly any Petrol, less than 3.2 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Grand Santa Fe will in most cases not be a huge problem. Experience has taught us that quantities less than 3.2 litres (roughly 5% of the entire fuel tank) is sometimes able to be sufficiently diluted by means of completely topping the rest of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It is relatively rare to encounter a car or truck suffering from problems with below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is rare - not impossible to encounter. There are certain cars that won't endure any level of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 3.2 and 6.4 litres of Petrol in the Hyundai (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our expertise demonstrates that as many motorists get away with this as all those who don't. Whenever deciding on whether or not to chance it and just top it up bear in mind that it is the same as gambling it all on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 6.4 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Grand Santa Fe should really promptly be drained out seeing as your probability of getting away with this amount of contamination is very likely lower than one in fifty - truly big odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Hyundai and drove it: Have you noted any kind of performance concerns after putting the incorrect fuel in your Grand Santa Fe? If you have, have it removed regardless of the quantity of Petrol or even the contamination percentage. Continuing to run running a vehicle that is beginning to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination will just cause more harm affecting the fuel system.
3. Would you like assurance?
   In that case get it removed. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is invariably some degree of risk linked with driving a Diesel engine on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible outcomes of driving a car on the incorrect fuel normally include the motor not starting, running unevenly, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or bunged injectors, and so on. These are a few of the most typical Petrol in Diesel signs and symptoms, and in the event that you notice any of them stop and have it drained right away.
