Bad fuel in your Mercedes ML 270 CDI? Petrol in your Diesel Mercedes?

ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel Mercedes is a usual error. And exactly what you want to do about it is determined by various things. If you would like to know what it is best to do to fix it then read on.
Listed below are the key factors to keep in mind whenever determining whether or not to get the car drained:

1. What level of Petrol have you put into the Mercedes, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes ML 270 CDI is most likely approximately 70 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Petrol, less than 3.5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel ML 270 CDI will typically not be a massive problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that anything under 3.5 litres (which is roughly 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is in many instances capable of being sufficiently diluted simply by entirely filling up the tank with Diesel.
      It is rather unusual to encounter a car or truck going through problems because of below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it's rare - definitely not impossible to find. There are a number of cars that don't endure any quantity of contamination at all.
   2. Between 3.5 and 7 litres of Petrol in the Mercedes (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our practical experience has proven that as many people get away with this as all those who break down. Whenever deciding upon whether to chance it and just fill it up bear in mind that it is exactly like wagering your car on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything above 7 litres of Petrol in your Diesel ML 270 CDI should right away be drained seeing that your likelihood of driving with that quantity of contamination is certainly lower than one in fifty - genuinely huge odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Mercedes and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance difficulties ever since putting the incorrect fuel in your ML 270 CDI? If you have, get it emptied regardless of the volume of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Proceeding to run running a vehicle that is already beginning to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination will typically be responsible for more damage being caused to your fuel system components.
3. Are you looking for assurance?
   You should get it emptied. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is always some degree of threat in connection with operating a Diesel vehicle on Diesel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Likely final outcomes of driving on the incorrect fuel include the engine not starting, running unevenly, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and the like. These are some of the commonest Petrol in Diesel signs or symptoms, and if you recognise any of them cease driving and get it removed asap.
