Contaminated fuel in your Peugeot 1007 Hdi? Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot is a very common mistake to make. And its solution depends on several different factors. In the event that you would like to find out what it is best to do about this then keep on reading.
Listed here are the most crucial variables to keep in mind when figuring out whether to have the car drained:

1. How much Petrol have you put into the Peugeot, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Peugeot 1007 Hdi is normally about 40 litres?
   1. Hardly any Petrol, something like 2 litres of Petrol in a Diesel 1007 Hdi will typically not really be a major problem. Experience has taught us that an amount under 2 litres (approximately 5% of the whole fuel tank) is often capable of being adequately diluted by means of completely filling the tank with Diesel.
      It is rather uncommon to encounter an automobile going through problems with below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it is very infrequently found - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are a few cars that won't stand any quantity of fuel contamination at all.
   2. Somewhere between 2 and 4 litres of Petrol in the Peugeot (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our experience has shown that as many drivers get away with it as those who break down. When you are trying to decide whether to chance it and basically fill it up recognise that it is the same thing as gambling your car on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 4 litres of Petrol in your Diesel 1007 Hdi really should right away be drained out since your likelihood of driving with this quantity of contamination is probably below one in fifty - seriously big odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot and drove it: Have you noted any performance problems ever since putting the bad fuel in the 1007 Hdi? In that case, get it drained no matter the quantity of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Still running a motor vehicle that is already beginning to suffer the effect of fuel contamination will probably only lead to increasing amounts of harm being caused to the fuel system components.
3. Are you interested in reassurance?
   You should get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some extent of danger affiliated with running a Diesel engine on fuel contaminated with Petrol. Likely results of driving a car on the incorrect fuel can include the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, decrease in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, etc. These are a few of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel signs or symptoms, and in the event that you notice any of them stop and have it removed right away.
