Bad fuel in a Renault Grand Kangoo dCi? Petrol in a Diesel Renault?

ABOUT

Putting Petrol in a Diesel Renault is a common mistake to make. And its solution is based on several things. In the event that you want to know what you must do about this then keep on reading.
Listed below are the most crucial factors to to consider whenever choosing whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. What amount of Petrol have you put in to the Renault, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of the Renault Grand Kangoo dCi is usually approximately 60 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Petrol, something like 3 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Grand Kangoo dCi will generally not really be a massive problem. Experience has taught us that an amount less than 3 litres (which is 5% of the fuel tank capacity) is quite often able to be sufficiently diluted by wholly topping the rest of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It is extremely uncommon to find a car or truck going through problems because of lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is uncommon - definitely not impossible to find. There are some motor vehicles that will not endure any degree of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 3 and 6 litres of Petrol in the Renault (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our experience has shown that as many motorists get away with this as those who break down. Any time you're deciding on whether to risk it and simply fill it up remember that it is just like wagering everything on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything more than 6 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Grand Kangoo dCi ought to promptly be removed seeing as your likelihood of driving with that level of contamination is undoubtedly below one in 50 - genuinely long odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Renault and drove it: Have you detected any kind of performance concerns as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in your Grand Kangoo dCi? If you have, have it removed regardless of the amount of Petrol or even the contamination percentage. Proceeding to drive running an automobile that is already beginning to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination will just result in more and more harm affecting the fuel system.
3. Are you interested in peace of mind?
   Simply get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some degree of threat caused by operating a Diesel motor on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Possible outcomes of driving a car on the incorrect fuel normally include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or bunged injectors, and the like. These are some of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel signs and symptoms, and if you observe any of them stop driving and have it removed immediately.
