Wrong fuel in your Mercedes S300 Turbodiesel? Petrol in your Diesel Mercedes?

ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel Mercedes is a regular problem. And what you should do about it varies according to various factors. In the event that you would like to know what you need to do to sort it out then stay with me.
These are the most important variables to keep in mind whenever figuring out whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. What level of Petrol have you put in the Mercedes, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes S300 Turbodiesel is most likely roughly 100 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Petrol, something like 5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel S300 Turbodiesel will quite often not necessarily be a huge problem. Experience has shown us that anything less than 5 litres (about 5% of the fuel tank volume) is usually able to be completely diluted by means of completely filling up the remainder of the tank with Diesel.
      It is quite unusual to encounter an automobile having problems with below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is very infrequently found - definitely not impossible to encounter. You will discover some vehicles that don't stand any quantity of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Between 5 and 10 litres of Petrol in the Mercedes (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our working experience has revealed that as many people get away with it as those who break down. Any time you are deciding on whether or not to risk it and basically top it up recognise that it is exactly like gambling all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything more than 10 litres of Petrol in a Diesel S300 Turbodiesel really should promptly be drained as your likelihood of getting away with this level of contamination is more than likely below one in 50 - really huge odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Mercedes and drove it: Have you spotted any kind of performance problems ever since putting the incorrect fuel in the S300 Turbodiesel? If so, have it emptied regardless of the volume of Petrol or the contamination percentage. Continuing to drive driving a motor vehicle that is starting to suffer the effects of wrong fuel contamination will typically cause even more damage being done to your fuel system parts.
3. Are you interested in reassurance?
   Simply get it removed. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is invariably some amount of threat linked with running a Diesel vehicle on fuel contaminated with Petrol. Possible results of driving on the wrong fuel can include the engine not starting, running lumpy, loss in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and so on. These are some of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel symptoms, and if you notice any of them then stop driving and get it drained asap.
