Incorrect fuel in a Mercedes CLA 220 CDI? Petrol in a Diesel Mercedes?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Mercedes is a regularly occurring error. And exactly what you have to do about it depends upon a few things. Assuming you would like to know what to do about this then please read on.
Listed below are the most important factors to keep in mind when choosing whether to get your car drained:

1. What level of Petrol have you put in to the Mercedes, taking into consideration that the fuel capacity of the Mercedes CLA 220 CDI is in most cases approximately 50 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Petrol, less than 2.5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel CLA 220 CDI will in most cases not really be a massive problem. Experience has taught us that quantities less than 2.5 litres (approximately 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is quite often capable of being sufficiently diluted by wholly topping the remainder of the tank with Diesel.
      It's very unusual to encounter a vehicle having problems with under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is uncommon - not impossible to encounter. There are actually some automobiles that don't stand any quantity of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 2.5 and 5 litres of Petrol in the Mercedes (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our working experience has shown that as many motorists get away with this as those who break down. Whenever deciding on whether or not to risk it and simply fill it up bear in mind that it is the same as wagering all of it on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything more than 5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel CLA 220 CDI should right away be drained out because your probability of getting away with that amount of contamination is more than likely less than one in 50 - extremely big odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Mercedes and drove it: Have you detected any kind of performance difficulties after putting the bad fuel in the CLA 220 CDI? If that's the case, get it emptied regardless of the amount of Petrol or the contamination percentage. Proceeding to run driving a car that is already beginning to suffer from the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will probably only cause more damage being caused to your fuel system.
3. Are you looking for security?
   Then simply just get it removed. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is inevitably a certain level of risk connected with driving a Diesel vehicle on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Probable final outcomes of driving a car on the wrong fuel can include the motor not starting, running lumpy, decrease in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, and the like. These are several of the most typical Petrol in Diesel signs or symptoms, and if you detect any of them stop driving and have it removed as soon as possible.
