Isuzu Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel Isuzu is a common mistake. And its solution hinges on various factors. In case you want to know what it is best to do to sort it out then please read on.
These are the most crucial variables to keep in mind when determining whether or not to get a fuel drain:

  1. What level of Petrol did you put in to the Isuzu, considering that the fuel tank capacity of your Isuzu D-Max is in most cases roughly 76 litres?
    1. A tiny amount of Petrol, something like 3.8 litres of Petrol in a Diesel D-Max will generally not necessarily be a significant problem. Experience has taught us that quantities less than 3.8 litres (roughly 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is very often capable of being adequately diluted through thoroughly filling the tank with the right fuel.
      It's extremely unusual to encounter a motor vehicle having issues because of under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it's uncommon - in no way impossible to encounter. You will discover a number of vehicles that don't endure any amount of fuel contamination at all.
    2. Somewhere between 3.8 and 7.6 litres of Petrol in the Isuzu (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our practical experience has revealed that as many motorists get away with it as those who break down. Whenever you are figuring out whether or not to risk it and simply top it up bear in mind that it is just like gambling your car on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working.
    3. Anything more than 7.6 litres of Petrol in your Diesel D-Max should really promptly be drained since your probability of succeeding with that quantity of contamination is probably lower than one in fifty - definitely huge odds.
  2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Isuzu and drove it: Have you seen any performance troubles as a result of putting the bad fuel in the D-Max? In that case, have it removed no matter the quantity of Petrol or even the contamination percentage. Continually driving a vehicle that is already beginning to suffer the effect of fuel contamination can only lead to even more damage affecting the fuel system parts.
  3. Do you want security?
    Then get it removed. No matter the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some degree of danger associated with running a Diesel vehicle on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Probable final outcomes of driving on the incorrect fuel include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, lack of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, etc. These are some of the most common Petrol in Diesel signs or symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them then stop driving and get it drained right now.

Petrol in Diesel FAQs

When someone has put Petrol in a Diesel car they have a few very common questions. So we have compiled a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions for you

I put Petrol in a Diesel car and drove it. What do I do?

Answer

Turn off the car as soon as possible and call us. Continuing to run a vehicle on the wrong fuel can potentially damage it. We will be able to give you advice and assistance based on your circumstances

Will driving a Diesel car on Petrol cause damage to it?

Answer

It can. However, if the problem is caught and remedied quickly the risks will be minimal. Of the 1,500 vehicles we attend every month, less than 0.5% have suffered and substantial damage requiring parts replacement.

How much Petrol can I get away with in a Diesel car?

Answer

The safe answer is none. However you might be able to get away with a very low contamination ratio. That being said, we always highly recommend draining anything over a 5% contamination ratio asap.

I know about petrol in diesel, but what about Super Unleaded?

Answer

Putting Super Unleaded, or Shell V-Power, BP Ultimate Unleaded, etc, will have the exact same effect as putting regular unleaded petrol in your diesel car and will need to be drained out and flushed.

Will getting you to do a fuel drain void my warranty?

Answer

No! The EU Block Exemption Regulations clearly state that "the work can be carried out by as long as that garage uses manufacturer approved parts and correctly follows the manufacturer's service schedule."

Can I top it up with Diesel and add some 2-stroke oil?

Answer

This might work on some vehicles in some cases, but in the majority on instances it won't and you risk damaging the Lambda sensors as well as fuel pump and injectors, just as a regular misfuel.
