ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel SsangYong is a fairly typical problem. And exactly what you need to do about it depends on several things. If you would like to find out what you ought to do about this then continue reading.
Listed here the key factors to think about when deciding on whether to get a fuel drain:

1. How much Petrol have you put into the SsangYong, considering that the fuel capacity of your SsangYong Korando EL is in most cases approximately 70 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Petrol, as little as 3.5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Korando EL will quite often not necessarily be a huge problem. Experience has shown us that quantities under 3.5 litres (approximately 5% of the whole fuel tank) is oftentimes capable of being adequately diluted by means of wholly topping up the rest of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It is pretty rare to come across a vehicle experiencing problems due to under 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is uncommon - in no way impossible to find. You will discover a number of vehicles that won't stand any quantity of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Somewhere between 3.5 and 7 litres of Petrol in the SsangYong (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has demonstrated that as many drivers get away with it as those people who don't. Any time you are trying to decide whether or not to chance it and just top it up remember that it is the same thing as betting it all on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything over 7 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Korando EL should right away be drained out because your likelihood of getting away with this quantity of contamination is in all likelihood less than one in fifty - definitely long odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel SsangYong and drove it: Have you observed any performance problems after putting the bad fuel in the Korando EL? If so, have it emptied irrespective of the amount of Petrol or even the contamination percentage. Continuing to run driving a motor vehicle that is already starting to suffer the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will probably definitely end up in more and more damage being caused to the fuel system parts.
3. Do you need assurance?
   Then simply just get it removed. No matter the contamination ratio, there is always some extent of danger connected to operating a Diesel engine on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Probable implications of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel can include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, lack of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and the like. These are several of the most typical Petrol in Diesel warning signs, and if you notice any of them stop and get it drained immediately.
