Contaminated fuel in your Jeep Wrangler CRD? Petrol in your Diesel Jeep?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Jeep is a very common problem. And exactly what you have to do about it is dependent upon a number of things. If perhaps you would like to know what you must do to fix it then keep on reading.
Listed here the most crucial variables to take into consideration when determining whether or not to have the car drained:

1. Exactly how much Petrol have you put in the Jeep, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Jeep Wrangler CRD is usually around 66 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Petrol, something like 3.3 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Wrangler CRD will normally not necessarily be a big problem. Experience has taught us that an amount under 3.3 litres (which is close to 5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is sometimes capable of being sufficiently diluted by totally topping up the tank with Diesel.
      It is very rare to find a motor vehicle experiencing problems with below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it is very infrequent - definitely not impossible to encounter. There are actually a number of vehicles that don't endure any amount of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 3.3 and 6.6 litres of Petrol in the Jeep (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our expertise has shown that as many people get away with this as all those who don't. Whenever you are deciding whether or not to risk it and simply fill it up remember that it is the same as betting everything on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything above 6.6 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Wrangler CRD should right away be drained out as your probability of getting away with that quantity of contamination is more than likely below one in 50 - truly long odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Jeep and drove it: Have you observed any kind of performance difficulties as a result of putting the wrong fuel in your Wrangler CRD? If you have, have it removed regardless of the quantity of Petrol or the contamination ratio. Still driving a car that is currently beginning to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination can just end up in more harm being done to the fuel system parts.
3. Would you like reassurance?
   Then get it emptied. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is invariably some degree of danger connected with running a Diesel engine on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Probable implications of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the motor not starting, running lumpy, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and the like. These are some of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel signs or symptoms, and should you observe any of them stop and get it drained immediately.
