Incorrect fuel in your Renault Captur dCi? Petrol in a Diesel Renault?

ABOUT

Putting Petrol in a Diesel Renault is a common mistake to make. And its solution depends on several things. In case you want to know what it is advisable to do to fix it then keep reading.
Listed here are the most crucial variables to take into account whenever figuring out whether to have the car drained:

1. Exactly how much Petrol have you put in to the Renault, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Renault Captur dCi is in most cases roughly 45 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Petrol, less than 2.25 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Captur dCi will most of the time not really be a huge problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities under 2.25 litres (5% of the overall fuel tank capacity) is very often able to be sufficiently diluted through thoroughly topping up the tank with Diesel.
      It is rather rare to come across a vehicle having difficulties due to lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it is very uncommon - not impossible to find. There are actually some cars that don't endure any level of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. In between 2.25 and 4.5 litres of Petrol in the Renault (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our experience has revealed that as many drivers get away with this as all those who break down. Any time you are deciding on whether or not to chance it and just simply top it up bear in mind that it is exactly like gambling everything on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything over 4.5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Captur dCi should really as soon as possible be drained out seeing that your probability of succeeding with that quantity of contamination is undoubtedly lower than one in 50 - extremely big odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Renault and drove it: Have you spotted any performance problems ever since putting the bad fuel in the Captur dCi? In that case, get it removed irrespective of the amount of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Still driving a vehicle that is currently beginning to suffer from the consequences of wrong fuel contamination can only result in even more damage affecting your fuel system.
3. Do you need peace of mind?
   Then get it emptied. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is invariably a certain level of threat resulting from driving a Diesel vehicle on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Likely final outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel include the engine not starting, running unevenly, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, etc. These are some of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel symptoms, and should you observe any of them stop and have it drained right away.
