Wrong fuel in your Seat Leon Torro TDI? Petrol in a Diesel Seat?

ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel Seat is a regularly occurring error. And its solution is dependent upon several factors. In the event that you want to know what you must do to fix it then please read on.
These are the main factors to keep in mind when making a decision whether to have it drained:

1. Exactly how much Petrol did you put into the Seat, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Seat Leon Torro TDI is most likely about 55 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Petrol, less than 2.75 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Leon Torro TDI will in most cases not be a massive problem. Experience has proven to us that anything under 2.75 litres (which is close to 5% of the total fuel tank) is in many instances capable of being adequately diluted by thoroughly filling the rest of the tank with the right fuel.
      It's very rare to come across a motor vehicle experiencing issues with below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Be aware that it's rare - definitely not impossible to encounter. There are some cars that won't stand any quantity of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Anywhere between 2.75 and 5.5 litres of Petrol in the Seat (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our working experience has shown us that as many drivers get away with this as those who break down. Whenever deciding upon whether to chance it and just fill it up bear in mind that it is very much like betting everything on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything more than 5.5 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Leon Torro TDI really should straightaway be drained since your likelihood of succeeding with this quantity of contamination is in all likelihood lower than one in fifty - extremely long odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Seat and drove it: Have you spotted any performance troubles as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in the Leon Torro TDI? If that's the case, have it emptied irrespective of the quantity of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Still driving a motor vehicle that is currently starting to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will typically cause even more harm affecting your fuel system parts.
3. Are you looking for peace of mind?
   Then simply just get it drained. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some degree of threat in connection with running a Diesel engine on fuel contaminated with Petrol. Probable consequences of driving on the wrong fuel include the motor not starting, running unevenly, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, and so on. These are several of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel signs or symptoms, and if you detect any of them stop driving and have it drained as soon as possible.
