Incorrect fuel in your Nissan Qashqai+2 dCi? Petrol in your Diesel Nissan?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Nissan is a regularly occurring mistake to make. And exactly what you should do about it depends on an assortment of things. Assuming you want to find out what it is best to do about this then stay with me.
Right here are the key variables to consider when choosing whether to have a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Petrol have you put into the Nissan, taking into account that the fuel tank capacity of the Nissan Qashqai+2 dCi is most likely roughly 65 litres?
   1. Hardly any Petrol, less than 3.25 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Qashqai+2 dCi will in most cases not necessarily be a huge problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that quantities under 3.25 litres (which is roughly 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is in many instances capable of being completely diluted by means of wholly filling the rest of the tank with Diesel.
      It's relatively rare to encounter a vehicle suffering from difficulties with below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it's unusual - certainly not impossible to find. You will discover certain automobiles that won't endure any level of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Somewhere between 3.25 and 6.5 litres of Petrol in the Nissan (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has proven that as many motorists get away with this as all those who don't. Whenever you are deciding upon whether to risk it and simply top it up recognise that it is much like betting all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything above 6.5 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Qashqai+2 dCi should immediately be drained since your probability of succeeding with that level of contamination is in all likelihood less than one in fifty - extremely huge odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Nissan and drove it: Have you spotted any kind of performance problems since putting the wrong fuel in the Qashqai+2 dCi? In that case, get it emptied regardless of the amount of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Still driving a car that is already starting to suffer from the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will typically bring about more damage affecting the fuel system.
3. Do you want peace of mind?
   In that case get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some extent of danger caused by running a Diesel motor on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Possible consequences of driving a car on the incorrect fuel can include the engine not starting, running unevenly, loss of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, and so on. These are several of the most typical Petrol in Diesel symptoms, and if you recognise any of them stop and get it removed asap.
