Incorrect fuel in a Peugeot 307 Hdi? Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot is a fairly typical error. And what you should do about it varies according to various things. Assuming you would like to find out what you have to do about this then read on.
Let us discuss the key factors to consider when figuring out whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. What level of Petrol did you put into the Peugeot, considering that the fuel capacity of your Peugeot 307 Hdi is probably roughly 60 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Petrol, something like 3 litres of Petrol in a Diesel 307 Hdi will more often than not not really be a massive problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that an amount less than 3 litres (which is approximately 5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is frequently able to be adequately diluted by means of thoroughly filling up the rest of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It is relatively uncommon to come across a car suffering from difficulties because of lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind it's infrequently found - in no way impossible to encounter. There are actually certain motor vehicles that will not stand any quantity of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 3 and 6 litres of Petrol in the Peugeot (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our expertise has confirmed that as many people get away with this as those who don't. Any time you are figuring out whether or not to chance it and just simply top it up remember that it is exactly like betting everything on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 6 litres of Petrol in your Diesel 307 Hdi must straight away be removed seeing that your likelihood of getting away with this amount of contamination is more than likely lower than one in 50 - extremely huge odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance issues since putting the bad fuel in your 307 Hdi? If you have, have it removed regardless of the quantity of Petrol or the contamination percentage. Proceeding to drive running an automobile that is currently starting to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination will probably typically be responsible for progressively more damage affecting the fuel system components.
3. Would you like reassurance?
   You should get it removed. No matter the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some extent of risk in connection with operating a Diesel vehicle on Diesel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Probable final outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, and so forth. These are several of the most typical Petrol in Diesel signs and symptoms, and in the event that you notice any of them cease driving and have it removed asap.
