Wrong fuel in your Kia Ceed CRDi? Petrol in a Diesel Kia?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Kia is a fairly typical mistake. And its solution is based on a variety of things. If you want to find out what you should do about it then read on.
Listed here the most crucial variables to be aware of when making a decision whether to get the car drained:

1. What level of Petrol did you put in the Kia, considering that the fuel tank capacity of your Kia Ceed CRDi is in most cases about 53 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Petrol, something like 2.65 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Ceed CRDi will in most situations not really be a major problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that an amount under 2.65 litres (which is roughly 5% of the entire fuel tank volume) is very often capable of being sufficiently diluted by means of totally filling the tank with Diesel.
      It is pretty rare to encounter a car or truck experiencing issues because of under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it's infrequent - not impossible to find. There are actually a few cars that don't endure any quantity of fuel contamination at all.
   2. Anywhere between 2.65 and 5.3 litres of Petrol in the Kia (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our expertise has proven that as many people get away with this as those who break down. When deciding on whether to risk it and just simply fill it up recognise that it is very much like betting your car on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything over 5.3 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Ceed CRDi should really promptly be drained out as your probability of succeeding with this level of contamination is more than likely below one in fifty - extremely long odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Kia and drove it: Have you noticed any kind of performance difficulties since putting the wrong fuel in your Ceed CRDi? If that's the case, get it emptied irrespective of the quantity of Petrol or the contamination percentage. Continually running a car that is currently beginning to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will only bring about progressively more harm being done to your fuel system parts.
3. Are you interested in peace of mind?
   Then simply just get it removed. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is invariably some degree of risk caused by running a Diesel motor on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Possible results of driving on the incorrect fuel normally include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, etc. These are a few of the most typical Petrol in Diesel symptoms, and in the event that you recognise any of them then stop and have it drained as soon as possible.
